IMO, secretly becoming another person's twin using a
Polyjuice potion seems rather complex.  Some how the
subject's tissue/hair/cells need(s) to be secretly
acquired and the subject needs to be out of the way,
so to speak.  Of course acquiring samples of Mr. B.
Crouch and replacing him would be simple enough.

Also, by Dumbledore's communicating to Snape his task
without any private conversation between them that
evening seems to me that Snape's task could have been
done at any time before that evening (but possibly
requiring some physical or mental preparation).  Of
course, this task probably wouldn't have had any
meaning until V. "rebirth."

Like Danemead said.  We probably must wait until a
future book.  (Who's making the JKR interview question
list?)

I checked the front page of a bookstore's GoF this
evening to see which printing Scholastic is up to--7th
printing!  But I didn't check to see about some of the
typos.  Darn!
