*{{Refuge in Audacity}}:
**Snape's whole MO. He tends to hide things in plain sight and simply rely on others to not see them, or to discount what they do see. Surely a member of the Inner Circle wouldn't:
**Recruit the eleven year old daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange as a spy, and then groom her as his apprenctice?
**Manipulate his country's most dangerous enemy into springing the[[spoiler: members of the Order]] currently in Azkaban and then turn them into assistants?

**Convince the Dark Lord to have Karkaroff replaced with [[spoiler: a disguised Mad-Eye Moody]]?

**Bellatrix and Rodolphus are impressed and delighted when they get to know Hermione and find her to be polite, intelligent and genuinely kind to others. Snape finds this ironic, as the reason she's like this is because she was raised for the first ten years by muggles, in a culture that values those things. Had she been raised by her aunt and uncle Malfoy like the Lestranges would have wanted, she would not have turned out that way.
