Sorry that this topic has no relevance to any of the recent discussions or the monthly challenge.
A Japanese Snape-meta blogger that I adore has recently brought up the issue of Snape reacting somewhat strangely to the fake Moody in GoF, and why that might be, seeing as we now know that he was actually a very important member of the Order, actively helping Dumbledore, even at that time. He should have nothing to fear from the real Moody, an ally, right? Or did he somehow sense that he was a Death Eater in disguise? And even if he did, why would he fear that Death Eater so much that he would abandon his attempt to find Harry on the stairs and ascertain his safety, allowing "Moody" to send him straight to bed? What was it he had to prioritize?
( Some ideas and extended quotes under the cut. )
