Snape and Voldemort, the same person?

[GinnyRules]

Wow, I'd forgotten i started this thread. Now i think about it it's obviously not true. What was I thinking? lol.

[Maraudian]

I think it's a good idea, but Snape is such an awesome character that to make him, well, non-existent would be... erm... a really terrible thing to do. Voldemort had plenty of chances to kill Harry during Occlumency lessons, and I don't think he would have had Wormtail cut off his hand or have bothered to give him a new one for nothing.

no i don't belive the case. if it was, harry would be dead by now.

[SKasparRollins]

This theory is impossible. If that was the case, how could Snape even be alive after Voldemort's downfall? And why would he have possessed Quirrell instead of Snape?

And I agree, if that was the case, Harry would be dead by now. Also, while it's quite possible Snape is evil, I don't think Dumbledore would be quite that stupid to not realize Voldemort was Snape.

[dobbysfriend]

Dumbledore would have noticed if they were the same.

[EBJ23]

Yes when Voldemort got "killed" by Harry when he was a baby then Snape would have died along with him if they were the same person. Besides I love Snape to much to think that he and Voldemort are the same.

Hi. Snape and Voldemort are two different characters. Snape is only a wizard/Hogwarts Teacher/Voldemort's servant and Voldemort is the controller of Death Eaters. Harry's scar hurted, because possibly Quirrel was sitting next to Snape or, because Snape just resigned as a Death Eater and a bit of evil was still left inside him.

Snape is not Voldermort, but come to think of it, we haven't seen them together at the same time?????

I agree that Snape and LV aren't one and the same, but the reason I think we haven't seen them together is that the series is written from Harry's point-of-view (with a couple notable exceptions). Since Harry did not have a vision of Snape reporting to LV in OoTP, and the pensieve memories that Snape dumped out were of his childhood, we (the readers) haven't had opportunity to see them interacting. Yet. I would imagine in DH that we'll see some sort of interaction between Snape and LV.

I think it would be pretty telling to Quirrell if one minute he had Voldemort attached to the back of his head, and the next he had disengaged himself, turned into Snape and had a conversation with him in the Forest (for example).

No, I'm sure they are not one in the same. I think DD would have noticed too.

[sllagnire]

I don't think this would be possible. Most people are saying its possible because we have never seen the two together. But let's think about that for a minute. How many people have we seen with Voldemort. That list isn't very long.

We've actually seen Voldemort (outside of dreams) only a few times: in Quirrell's body feeding off of the unicorn and attacking Harry to get the Stone in Book 1; as his 16-year-old self before he started terrorizing the Wizarding World in Chamber of Secrets; in the graveyard with his DEs when he got his body back in GoF; and in the MoM during the battle to recover or hide the Prophecy. The number of non-DEs who saw him in these scenes is pretty small: Draco, who saw him feeding off of the unicorn, and possibly Firenze, the six kids who went to the MoM in OotP (Ginny also corresponded with young Tom in the Diary but he was destroyed before she regained consciousness in the Chamber) and Fudge and other Ministry workers who saw him just as he left the Ministry. That's 8 people plus the Ministry folks.

And there you have it: conclusive proof that Voldemort is Parvati Patil!

i dont have evidence to back up my theory but i dont think that voldemore and snape are the same person..but im definatly going to look more into it..it seems like a idea that they are the same person..im not too sure. about it.

Snape is at Hogwarts on Dumbledore's orders while Harry is at the graveyard with Voldemort and the Death Eaters in Goblet of Fire. Snape was not at the graveyard but came to Voldemort two hours later (according to Spinners End, HBP).
