Como pode Voldemort confiar em Snape após os eventos do primeiro livro? [duplicado]

9

Na Pedra Filosofal , Snape estava jogando com o Quirrell como o agente duplo. Ele estava convencendo-o a descobrir como conseguir a pedra.

"Have you found out how to get past that beast of Hagrid's yet?"
"B-b-but Severus, I --"
"You don't want me as your enemy, Quirrell," said Snape, taking a step toward him.

Mas no jogo de Quadribol Snape

saved Harry and Quirrel knew that.

Mais tarde, Harry discutiu com Quirrel:

"But Snape tried to kill me!"
"No, no, no. I tried to kill you. Your friend Miss Granger accidentally knocked me over as she rushed to set fire to Snape at that Quidditch match. She broke my eye contact with you. Another few seconds and I'd have got you off that broom. I'd have managed it before then if Snape hadn't been muttering a countercurse, trying to save you."
"Snape was trying to save me?"
"Of course," said Quirrell coolly. (...)

Como é possível que Voldemort confie tanto em Snape mais tarde? E que ninguém mencionou isso. (Eu sei, pode estar fora da tela, mas a posição de Snape parece bem strong)

Tudo explicado no Príncipe Mestiço (ênfase minha).

“Why did you stay there all that time, Snape? Still spying on Dumbledore for a master you believed dead?”

“Hardly,” said Snape, “although the Dark Lord is pleased that I never deserted my post: I had sixteen years of information on Dumbledore to give him when he returned, a rather more useful welcome-back present than endless reminiscences of how unpleasant Azkaban is…”

[...]

“But you didn’t return when he came back, you didn’t fly back to him at once when you felt the Dark Mark burn—”

“Correct. I returned two hours later. I returned on Dumbledore’s orders.”

“On Dumbledore’s—?” she began, in tones of outrage.

“Think!” said Snape, impatient again. “Think! By waiting two hours, just two hours, I ensured that I could remain at Hogwarts as a spy! By allowing Dumbledore to think that I was only returning to the Dark Lord’s side because I was ordered to, I have been able to pass information on Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix ever since! Consider, Bellatrix: The Dark Mark had been growing stronger for months. I knew he must be about to return, all the Death Eaters knew! I had plenty of time to think about what I wanted to do, to plan my next move, to escape like Karkaroff, didn’t I?

The Dark Lord’s initial displeasure at my lateness vanished entirely, I assure you, when I explained that I remained faithful, although Dumbledore thought I was his man. Yes, the Dark Lord thought that I had left him forever, but he was wrong.”

Então, basicamente, uma combinação de fatores:

  • Snape explicou a Voldemort que ele sempre foi fiel a ele
  • Snape tinha 16 anos de informações sobre Dumbledore para dar a Voldemort
  • Snape também tinha informações sobre a Ordem para dar a Voldemort
  • Snape ainda pode permanecer como Hogwarts como um espião (o que também significa mais mais informação), devido ao fato de que ele não aparata para Voldemort quando o Marca Negra queimada

Por que Voldemort ainda confia em Snape se ele não conseguiu matar Harry?

“If I had murdered Harry Potter, the Dark Lord could not have used his blood to regenerate, making him invincible—”

[...]

“Indeed, many of the Dark Lords old followers thought Potter might be a standard around which we could all rally once more. I was curious, I admit it, and not at all inclined to murder him the moment he set foot in the castle.

A razão para isso é explicitamente mencionada em HBP a respeito de porque ele ficou entre Quirrell e a pedra.

“I think you next wanted to know,” he pressed on, a little more loudly, for Bellatrix showed every sign of interrupting, “why I stood between the Dark Lord and the Philosopher's Stone. That is easily answered. He did not know whether he could trust me. He thought, like you, that I had turned from faithful Death Eater to Dumbledore’s stooge. He was in a pitiable condition, very weak, sharing the body of a mediocre wizard. He did not dare reveal himself to a former ally if that ally might turn him over to Dumbledore or the Ministry. I deeply regret that he did not trust me. He would have returned to power three years sooner. As it was, I saw only greedy and unworthy Quirrell attempting to steal the stone and, I admit, I did all I could to thwart him.”
(Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 2, Spinner's End).

"I saw you and Snape in the Forest –" he blurted out.
"Yes," said Quirrell idly, walking around the Mirror to look at the back. "He was on to me by that time, trying to find out how far I'd got. He suspected me all along. Tried to frighten me – as though he could, when I had Lord Voldemort on my side ..."

Não tem certeza se Snape suspeitou que Quirrell estivesse possuído . Voldemort pode não ter esperado que Snape saiba também.

Então, enquanto Snape salvou Harry e Voldemort sabiam que ele sabia, Voldemort pode ter presumido que ele fez isso sem saber que Quirrell estava tentando matar Harry nas ordens diretas de Voldemort. Dado que a existência prolongada de Harry permitiu que Voldemort retornasse à carne mais poderosa do que antes, ele poderia não ter se importado com Snape mantendo o garoto vivo até então.
