Pippin:
Um, yes, actually. We found out that Snape had indeed resumed his
role as double agent, we found out what excuses he had made to
the Death Eaters in order to be accepted back into the fold, we found
out that Voldemort had ordered Snape to join Dumbledore, we found 
out why Dumbledore believed Snape had left the dark side, we 
found out the nature of Lupin's "mysterious business for the Order" 
and we found out how Voldemort had survived the rebound of the 
killing curse. 


It was reconfirmed that Voldemort is misleading in his monologues 
and we should be very careful about believing anything he says. 

We found out (though from interviews not directly from the text) 
that Harry's incompetence at occlumency was not Snape's fault.
