gwendolyngraceWhat if we've got the prank backward?
What I mean is, we basically all work off the assumption that Snape's snooping has always been to figure out the truth about Remus.
What if he had already figured it out, and was either just looking for proof, or, like he is in PoA, trying to prove it *to* the other Marauders? What if he thinks he can force the truth down Potter, Black, and Pettigrew's throats, it will break up the group?
Pros: Snape's too clever not to have come up with the differential of explanations.
Cons: Why go in the tunnel?
MetaCons: It's too twisty, therefore not obvious enough. Therefore JKR wouldn't do it.
But I have this little buzz in my head like there's a way to make that work, I just have to pull it forward from the back burner of my brain.
And Boston-Area folks: I still have 2 tickets to the GoF Sneak Preview on Wednesday. Anyone? Bueller?
