> Nikkalmati:
> It is canon that Snape did try to warn James, not personally (I'm sure that would have gone well), but through DD.  Snape must have been the source of the information that sent James and Lily into hiding.
>
> I am sure Snape would not have given Sirius to the Dementors because it is canon that he did not.  He could have called the Dementors back or just left Sirius down by the lake alone, if that were what he intended to happen
>
> I also think it is canon that Snape did not intend for James and Harry to be killed.   He went to DD in a state of panic because for some reason he concluded LV would not comply with his request to spare Lily.   DD accuses Snape of wanting only Lily to live and tells Snape that is disgusting.  Then Snape replies "save them all."  DD looks into Snape's eyes and is satisfied.  What did he see except that Snape meant it?  He had not asked for James and Harry because he was not even thinking about them.  He was preoccupied with Lily, but it was not part of his plan that the others would die.  Having been a student under DD, was it even feasible for Snape to think that DD
> would save Lily and only Lily?


Librasmile:
Yes, but those are the conclusions you come to when you see Snape
as a human being which is not a position that any amount of logic,
rational argument, common sense or anything else that an anti-Snape
person can accept. =^)
