> Very interesting question here.  How did Snape get away from the Hog's Head without being Obliviated?  I really can't imagine DD would just let him go with even a portion of the prophecy or that DD would believe Snape's protestation that he didn't hear anyting (if he said that).

Pippin:
Dumbledore, like Voldemort, believes what his powers of legilimency tell him. It's Aberforth's word against Snape's. We know that wizards have less obvious ways of overhearing conversations than pressing their ears to the keyhole, so probably all Aberforth actually saw was Snape in a corridor where he shouldn't have been.


But supposing Dumbledore doubts himself and would like to make sure, there are still problems. 

Is it  possible to obliviate a memory that's being hidden by Occlumency? And even if it is, what then? Even if Snape means no harm, he's not going to stand there and let Dumbledore pull a wand on him. And there are two witnesses. Is Dumbledore going to obliviate them too?
