Meta Monday: Obliviate!

[sassy_cat]

The Ministry happily employs Obliviators to protect the Statute of Secrecy, and it's known that memories can be both erased and rewritten. We know that Gilderoy Lockhart maintained a career using the Memory Charm. We also know that Severus is an accomplished Occlumens and Legilimens

Yes, I believe it wouldn't be OOC for Snape to use a memory charm. Not because he is manipulative like Lockhart, but simply because Snape did do lots of ethically questionable things during his time as a spy for the Order. So I think he's capable of doing things he might not personally find ethical if they are used for a good cause, or if he feels they are necessary.
