Bellatrix Confronts Mystery - Snape's Loyalty

PAGES: 25-28

Bellatrix accuses Snape of being untrustworthy and questions his loyalty to Lord Voldemort. She lists her suspicions: his time at Hogwarts, his failure to find Lord Voldemort, and his actions during key events. Snape, unruffled, rebukes her by reminding her that Lord Voldemort himself trusts him and that he had to act in certain ways to maintain his cover.
