>> <snip> The question, however, is whether or not Morty
considered Snape to be sufficiently useful as to be worth
making a genuine offer of a reward as a way of increasing
Snape's loyalty. The fact that he did makes the question
kind of moot, although many seem to feel it worth arguing
that Morty, totally against character, made an effort to
reward someone of little importance. <<


June:
Actually I think that since Voldemort was sending Snape to
Hogwarts that he may have thought sparing Lily would make
Snape more controllable. Any thing that Voldemort does for
anyone (as a few people have mentioned) he does for his own
good. I am sure he thought sparing Lily would make Snape his
but in the heat of the moment he killed her anyway.
