Order Only: On Snape and Macnair
As I said, I knew Macnair, a little, when I worked at Hogwarts. I always suspected he was more decent than he wanted to let on.
As for Snape. Twelve years in Azkaban is enough to change any man's loyalties to the monster who put him there, even if he hadn't thought better of it before then. Frank, Sirius, Kingsley - you all reported that he showed you a memory where he swore allegiance to Professor Dumbledore. Now Professor Dumbledore seems to be corroborating that claim.
I think we should trust him, and give them both the chance to prove worthy of that trust.

As I said, I've given my allegiance to Albus, and I will not stand against his request that we take these two men into the Order.
