[HPforGrownups] Snape's Predicament

Is Voldemort aware that Crouch Jr. was captured and killed (well, soul-less)? Perhaps Snape is returning to Voldemort pretending to be Barty Crouch. Knowing that Voldie now considers Barty to be the most faithful of his death eaters, he would probably trust him with some of the top-secret information he wouldn't entrust to any of the others.

Polyjuice Potion to pose as someone else sounds reasonable.  Whatever Snape
is doing, he was back at Hogwarts immediately afterwards -- he left the
infirmary to do whatever it was, and he was present at the Farewell Dinner
the next week.  I wonder if we'll have to wait for another 3 books to find
out...

I thought I posted this a week ago, but somehow it never made it.

Anyway, I was reading book one again and thought about Professor
Snape.  Quirrell ( who has Voldemort in back of his head) tells Harry
that Snape was preventing him from finding the Sorcerer's Stone and
knocking Harry off the broomstick in the Quidditch match.  Since
Voldemort hears this conversation between Quirrell and Harry, he must
know that Snape is no longer a loyal Death Eater.  How on earth is
Snape supposed to be an undercover spy in Voldemort's camp if
Voldemort already knows about this?  Snape was not present for this
conversation in book one and may not know anything about it.  Snape
appears to be in one heck of a predicament.

My other thought on the matter is that Snape has polyjuice potion in
his office, so he must be able to become other people quite easily if
he needs to.  Perhaps this is part of his prior service to Dumbledore.

P.S. I think Ludo Bagman will turn out to be a bad guy in the end.
