Dark and difficult times lie ahead...

So Snape hated James because James saved his life [from the shrieking shack, where Sirius lured him] - Snape ended up in debt to someone he hated. I'm glad I've got that straight in my head now. But it's still not clear when Snape left the Death Eaters, or why

Have you read the last book? Things are made much clearer.

Yup, last book read. usual complaints, but some good story hidden under all those words : )

Its still not made clear when snape left the deatheaters, no? Or did i miss a bit?

I just assumed when I read it that he never actually left them as such. When everything collapsed he was just sort of slithering about making do until he got the opportunity he couldn't refuse at the start of the book. Just my take on it - possibly missing out loads of content from the other books.

Of course the final book will probably say it was all Dumbledores plan and he'd asked him to do it etc etc.

Snape definately left -before- Voldermorts fall because Dumbledore testified at his trial saying he left at great personal risk and all that.

It makes sense it was part of dumbledores plan otherwise Snape would never have done the unbreakable vow- he must have known what he was getting into.

but then maybe dumbledore left a little a little bit of himself somewhere... although that seems too obvious. More interesting if by the end all the side characters are -really- dead, not just pretend dead- dumbledore, snape, sirius... maybe lupin? god, i hope not.
