> Carol responds:
> I'm pretty sure that DD's supposed fear that Snape would return to his old ways was a cover story for the young, newly hired Snape (already spying for DD) to tell Voldemort (who was not vaporized until the end of the following October) and any curious DEs. 

potioncat:
I agree. Don't we get a view of DD saying something like "DADA might bring out the worst in you." or something to that effect? (Can't remember which book.) Bringing out the worst seemed to indicate that Snape might be tempted into Dark Arts, but I think it simply refers to the curse itself, which causes a damaging secret to be revealed.
