Sneaky Snivellus

The pensive's been pretty inactive for the past few days, so decided to put some of my thoughts in it. Look at the advantages - A new post, less distraction for me once I empty myself of those thoughts, and more distraction for the ones who read them! ;)

Anyways, this is a topic that I'm sure anyone who's given the slightest amount of thought to the sixth book would've come across. The one about Snape (who also happens to be one of my favourite characters). The second chapter 'Spinner's End' was just as amazing to read as the first chapter of Book 4 'The Riddle House'. Both those chapters left my mind spinning with more Riddles than the ones they answered. Thankfully enough, the riddles set by The Riddle House were answered in Book 4 itself, which leaves us with Spinner's End. Even after the events there and the events on top of the Astronomy Tower, I believe that Snape was loyal to Dumbledore. Even so, it does not pass through me that he could fool the 'most accomplished legilimens ever'. Now we all know 'Professor Snape' is very skillful in Occlumency too, but we're talking about Lord Voldermort here.

Would love to know your views. Whose side do you think 'The Prince' is on? How do you think he so perfectly fooled Voldie/Dumbledore (well if he was trying to fool Dumbledore, I don't think it could've been done in a better way)?
