> Oh, yes. Voldy knows all right. If DD stands up in court and tells
everyone that Modest-hero!Snape has been working against Voldy 
for at least a year,  then he's not going to be on Voldy's Christmas 
card list. Next time he sees Sevvy it'll be "Ooh! Look at the pretty 
green lights!" Theories abound of double- and triple-agent
activities,  but it gets so horribly complicated that  as you keep 
going round in circles there's a danger of vanishing up your  
own chuff.

Pippin:
But he *has* to be getting away with it, or he's dead--there seems to
be this idea that he's safe if he doesn't go back to Voldy, but good
grief!

If everyone knows he betrayed Voldy, then the rest of the DE's know
too. What Death Eater wouldn't want the glory of picking him off?
Lucius especially -- he needs to convince the Master that he's
serious  about Death Eating, after that fiasco at the QWC.

Sirius even makes a point of telling us that Voldemort doesn't 
insist on doing this kind of thing himself.
