Mr Malfoy and Snape

[littlelib]

Snape used to be a death eater, but he was a spy for dumbledor. So how come he likes malfoy if his dad is a death eater? Snape must know Malfoy still is and, yet, in the second film he sits next to him.

Do they not know that Snape was a spy or what? Please could someone explain this??

[Holly Golightly]

Hrmm, maybe the bad guys don't know that Spane turned spy for DD... hrmm, very interesting!

My guess would be thought that they are close friends, which is why they sit near eachother, and Snape treats Draco like his little favorite...

Or... maybe he's only doing it so that they don't suspect him...

[Yoshi420]

Well Voldie knows and my guess is he would tell the DE.

[Holly Golightly]

Yeah, but are we sure that he knows???

The person he was talking about at the end of the 4th book might have been someone else... Voldie never specifically says that he knows that Snape became a spy for DD of that he left the Death Eaters... we just assume that he knows...

[Beccaroo]

Perhaps Mr. Malfoy doesn't realise that Snape is a spy and Snape is trying to keep on his good side. That wouls explain why they sit next to each other and stuff.

I think Snape is nice to Draco becuase he knows that if he isn't Lucious will find out through Draco??

but i don't know Lib - perhaps JkR has sonething lined up in the next book?

[Mistress Siana]

Yeah, but are we sure that he knows???

He must know because Quirrel did.
So why didn't he tell the DEs? Lucius would have killed him long ago!
Maybe Voldie him back...if Snape's the one he refers to as "the one I've lost forever", his choice of words implies that Snape's really missed...
hm

[littlelib]

Hum, well Luciouse must have know he was a death eater so i just assumed that he would know he was a spy. But the Lucious must have escaped and didnt try to get back to Voldie. Hummm, i think i have done too much thinking on this one.

I also think i put it in the wrong place. Tee hee

[Scellanis]

erm, Malfoy is a powerful, influential, rich school govenor

Snape is a potions master and head of the house Malfoy's son is in...like Snape would be able to do anything other than what he does.....you should know what Lucius Malfoy is like, instead of threatening everyone into sacking Dumbledore he could quite easily turn on Snape if Snape upsets Draco and it would be a whole lot easier to get Snape sacked....

Whatever Snape may think of Malfoy i should imagine he prefers keeping his job to showing his true thoughts

that and maybe he just favours Draco because Draco is Harry's arch enemy and the best student in the slytherin class i would guess

[Neo]

Or maybe Lucious hasn't told Draco that Snape is a spy, and that's why both along too well.

[Holly Golightly]

Well, for sure Draco doesn't know, remember he was telling Snape that is he was to run for headmaster then he would ahve his dad's vote... So Draco obviouosly knows nothing about this spy business.

Also, I don't think that Lucious knows, because he awlways seems to tell Draco most everything. Though he didnt' give him details about the CoS, he still told him about it... And from what we have been given so far, Lucious doesn't seem like the type that can hide his feeling very well. Take his attitude towards Dumbledore. Remember that Luc is trying to hide the fact that he is a DE, so logicly he should be really nice to DD, but he's not. Even at the end of the 2nd book when DD comes back, you would think that he would be faking nice really well, but everything that he says is still very stiff and packed with malice.

And I can't figure out wether I beleive taht Voldie knows about Snape being a spy or not anymore... there's just too much to think about! To many possible explinations!!!

*hrmm, did that go for 500billion years or wot???*

[Neo]

If Snape was a spy for over a year, then Voldemort should know. And in case not we know Karkarof knows, so probable he will tell him, right?

[Hermione]

Do we know for certain that Malfoy and Snape like each other? Or is this something that's just shown in the movies? I don't remember ever hearing about that . . .

[littlelib]

Which Malfoy??

Yeah it is shown in the movie but would Lucious send his child to a school which has a Death Eater for a teacher who became a spy?

[Scellanis]

its just generally in the books, Snape favours Malfoy....he always does

Malfoy also mentions that his father could get Snape the next DADA job i think in one of the books....

as far as i can remember there was something in book four about Lucius wanting to send Draco to Durmstrang but the mother didnt like sending Draco that far away....it was something like that anyway...cant remember exactly id have to check

[Mint]

i think that noone knows (xcept for dumbledore) that Snape is a spy. Thus Malfoy treats him as his own kind.

He must know because Quirrel did

Did he (vodly) announce it to everyone? I don't think he communicates with his followers very well. He just tells them to do stuff and they do it - he doesnt explain.

At least thats what I think.
