Yeah, i think so. And maybe he is hiding from public. I hope he suffer! I hate snape!And maybe now he is arranging the plan with voldemort....to kill harry potter.......

*snape fan alert*

i agree he is with voldemort however he is not on his side he is really dealing for the order!

I think Snape will retun to Voldermort and Voldermort will be happy that he killed Dumbledore and grant Snape some kind of extreme power.

he is with LV and will remain with him..i guess he'll probarly change his location more closer to LV and would be a great gift for the dark side

I think that he will not return to spinners end because I would think the other teachers would know where it is at. Plus he killed dumbledore so I think that Voldermort would be so happy with snape that he would want him right by his side.

he'll be wherever LV is ...

Or another thought is he might not even be with LV because he feels so bad about what he did to DD so he just wants to be by himself. But I highly doubt this.

no actually he'll be wherever LV is and will act the spy for the good side and will hopefully help Harry....

I definately think Snape went into hiding and that, unfortunately, Dumbledore is really dead. There was so much about Dumbledore's trusting those that might not deserve it, and yes, he was right most of the time, but, despite being a great wizard, he was also human and had human faults, which he confessed to. I think Snape reported back to Voldemort, and that he really is a Death Eater who was really spying for Voldemort. I think he will play a role in Book 7, perhaps in the final battle. And, I suppose it is possible that, after Harry kills Voldemort, Snape will kill Harry at the same time, if it is true that Rowling plans on having Harry die. Then, Snape will be killed in return by one of the Order, Hermione, or Ron.

how can you say actually like you know this for a fact my thought could be possible to u know

I completally agree. i think that dumbledore told Snape to kill him and that it was ll part of Dumbledore's plan. I refuse to believe tha Snape is bad. I just can't!

i doubt he went back to Voldemort because he wasnt supposed to kill Dumbledore. i think he'll go in hiding

but he said in Spinner's End.."the Dark Lord intends to make me do it in the end",..so if Draco was'nt able to do it he had to and plus Voldemort needed DD dead ..he won't be angry at the fact that Snape killed him but will be glad at him to make something possible which he was'nt even able to do!!!

so he'll not hide from LV!

I don't think voldemort will kill snape because even though he did what was supposed to be Draco's job, he did kill DD and that should please Voldemort.

snape will go to voldemort just to show him he is on his side but then runs away again over to the good side. i dont no where he will go...not to school, not to spinner's end. i think he'll go to find harry and help him...i no that does seem far-fetched but he is good on the inside because he has to show voldemort that he hates harry so he cant favour him and dumbledore knows that. in the first book right at the end, dumbledore and harry are in the hospital wing asking a few questions. Dumbledore tells harry how snape and james potter hated each other and then james saved him. Snape saved harry in the quidditch match to make things even so he could get on with his life hating james. thats exactly how dumbledore said it and he also said that he made himself greatly unpopular amongst the teachers as he wanted to referee the next match. anyways he'll go to voldemort and prove to him that he is on his side and then go to the good side. i believe he will save harry from voldemort by shielding him. if that doesnt happen then he will die as voldemort will realise snape's true colours. bellatrix would have been right.

snape is wherever LV is!!!

Agreed

He's with Voldemort, except that he isn't doing Voldemort's bidding. I feel that Snape is deeeeeep under cover for the order and is still on the side of good.

what if Snape helps Harry trying to find the Horcruxes...

snape is still evil in my eyes and i think he is with voldemort wormtail and with malfoy! i think they are at the old riddles house

I made a case for Snape being a good guy on the Death Eater or True to his Word thread, so I won't repeat that. However, for further consideration about Snape, he..

* Defected from the Death Eaters, renounced his old ways and been cleared by the Wizengamot.

* Has gained the complete trust of Dumbledore, who isn't a fool. There must be more to the story than what we know.

* Protected Harry numerous times, from the counter jinx against Quirrell's jinx in PS, to teaching Harry occlumency in OoTP, to not retaliating against Harry's curses in the flight from Hogwarts in HBP.

* Helped other Order members, such as the werewolf potion for Lupin and alerting the other Order members of trouble in the Ministry building in OoTP.

* Aided the sick Dumbledore when he was critically injured after destroying a horcrux - he could have killed or let die Dumbledore then, but worked to save him.

Snape has been set up to appear to be a bad guy by JKR, but she is using misdirection and ambiguities to spring a surprise on the reader. The whole thing about Snape meeting Dumbledore in the dark forest and agreeing to something he didn't like was completely redundant unless it had a bearing on Snape's actions later.

For what it's worth, I think that Snape is with Voldemort and the Death Eaters, but acting as an undercover agent for the order, as per an arrangement with Dumbledore, whose inevitable death was used as a tool to validate Snape's credentials with the DE's.

I think Snape is with Voldemort and will remain with him spying on him and doing things for the order untill Voldemort realizes what snape is doing. I guess it will be hard for snape to contact members of the order coz they think is a DE and if he says:
-Look, i am a good guy! Dumblodore trusted me, remember?
they wont believe. He must either reveal true reasons why DD trusted him or not try
contacting the Order. I think he will choose the second way.

So i dont think we will hear much of him in the beginning of the book, though he might influence the events.
I deem we will find all the truth about him somewhere in the second half of the book.

I think that you're right on the money kcatie. Snape is between a rock and a hard place, as only Dumbledore seemingly knew the arrangement between them.

Snape can't go back to the Order and try to become a goodie again, as they all think that he killed Dumbledore. Plus, the DE's would surely kill him for his treachery. But we know that Snape is good and will probably be deeply conflicted if he is made to do something really horrible by Voldemort, and in danger if he refuses.

I think that there might be a part of book 7 where Snape and Harry encounter each other and Snape and Harry reconcile, as Harry will be told the truth and/or Snape's actions will prove him to be on the side of the Order.

I'm hanging out for Snape's redemption and vindication.

Durro

I think he is with the Dark Lord and the other Death Eaters and trying to find a way how could the kill Harry ( it makes me sick everytime I think about it )
