Hence the reason Bellatrix holds this little interrogation session. She, and some of the other Death Eaters, thinks he's a little too loyal to Dumbledore. By the same token, by the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , the Order and Harry are convinced that Snape is loyal to Voldemort, and has been the entire time. We have to remember there is one more book. What things seem to be on the surface, in Harry Potter , isn't what is truly going on. While the interrogation session may have been a bit of Snape misrepresenting himself, there was definitely something out of character with him.
In spite of the expectation that everything said by the performer [Snape] will be in keeping with the definition of the situation fostered by him, he may convey it in such a way as to prevent the audience [Bellatrix and Narcissa] as a whole from realizing that anything out of keeping with the definition of the situation. Everything Snape said was highly out of character. When has Snape ever explained himself? When has Snape ever given a detailed account of what's been going on? It was very clear that Snape felt he was superior to Bellatrix, and by that count was not obligated to give her a detailed account.
But he did, and the reader is left to reread that chapter asking themselves "What just happened? Ironically, if it hadn't been for Bellatrix's outburst, that conversation wouldn't have happened at all. Narcissa went there with the intent of being an active participant in the performance.
In other words, she thought it would be her and Snape, and there would be no one else. The performance, or discussion, intended was the discussion on Draco, but Bellatrix had to "create a scene" which made him answer those questions, and forced Narcissa to become part of the audience by being an observer. By asking him those questions, she is questioning his performance up to that point. This is also her way of challenging him, because, theoretically, they are supposed to be in dramaturgical agreement, since they are on the same team.
Regardless of whether a person intends to take a line, he will find that he has done so in effect. I personally believe that Snape didn't know what Draco's assignment from Voldemort was. Snape effectively accepted the line of killing Dumbledore whether he meant to or not, because he is fostering the impression he was loyal to Voldemort.
Here's where things get into the realm of speculation, but not the unthinkable. Hagrid has limited information from the argument he heard between Dumbledore and Snape. Dumbledore told Snape he had to follow through. What if Dumbledore knew about Draco's plan at that point? Dumbledore may not have known about the Unbreakable Vow Snape made with Narcissa, but what if Snape made an Unbreakable Vow with Dumbledore before he made the one with Narcissa?
That one would have been something to the effect of "if the Death Eaters or Voldemort threaten me and I am unable to defend myself, you will do whatever is necessary to make sure the secrets of the Order remain safe. While that doesn't have to mean he has to kill Dumbledore, it would go a long way toward explaining that look of revulsion, that "I'm going to hate myself in the morning no matter what I do" look on his face at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
At that point, the secrets of the Order now entail killing Dumbledore. By the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , it's clear that there is more to what happened in "Spinner's End" then what we are being told.
There is a reason Rowling showed us what an Unbreakable Vow looks like, and what it means. There is a reason she lets us be privy to a conversation between Bellatrix and Snape. There is a reason Snape chose to give Bellatrix an explanation.
There is a reason we get an account of a conversation between Snape and Dumbledore. How we come to our conclusions about Snape largely depend on whether we actually think about what Snape is saying to Bellatrix, in relation to the rest of the series, or whether we take what Snape says at face value, and our conclusion about him being a loyal Death Eater is fixed from the start.
Personally, I believe this shows Snape is on the side of the Order. I will readily acknowledge that Snape isn't a pleasant person to be around, but that doesn't mean he's evil. If the scenario I have presented is even remotely close to what actually happens in Book 7, Snape maintains his loyalty to Dumbledore by giving the appearance to be loyal to Voldemort.
Rowling still has a few twists up her sleeve, and I know we haven't heard the last of the question of Snape's loyalty. Goffman, Erving.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It is located in Cokeworth. Spinner's End is located near the childhood home of the Evans family , where Petunia Dursley and Lily Potter grew up, as revealed through Snape's memories to Harry Potter in While the Black sisters were there, Bellatrix deemed it a "muggle dunghill".
Cokeworth is a large town located in England , [2] in which the street of Spinner's End is located. It is a town with several streets of identical brick, terraced, houses. It is located near a dirty river, the bank of which is strewn with litter. There is a disused mill with a tall chimney in this town. Snape's home contained a dark, enclosed sitting room, furnished with threadbare furniture, a dim candle-lit lamp hanging from the ceiling, and walls covered in books.
The house stood at least two stories high, as a hidden door set in the wall of books revealed a narrow, ascending staircase, while another that leads to a storeroom where elf-made wine was kept.
As all the doors are completely hidden, the first room upon entry has the feeling of a prison cell. Learn More Got It! Submitted by bri-marie over a year ago. SnapeSoulmate said: Oh yeah.
