It has been suggested by historians that Severus Snape must have received some sort of help during his long struggle against the Dark Lord. Several former Death Eaters and inmates at Azkaban maintain that they often saw Snape in the company of a woman who became known to them as 'Cutting'. Coming from such an unreliable source, it is often dismissed as gossip, but new evidence suggests that there might at one point have been such a woman in Snape's life. This is her story.
