Snape's Task

I've been thinking about the comments many list members made on the exact 
nature of the Snape's task. I believe [primarily for the reasons Amanda and 
Koinonia gave] that he returned to Voldemort as himself, and that ,yes, he 
placed  himself in some danger by doing so.

However, I've just realized that there could be another way for Snape to 
avoid punishment. What if his defection to Dumbledore's side was in fact 
authorized by Voldemort [or some high level DE]. They could have provided 
Snape with some information to establish himself as an useful spy and gain 
Dumbledore's trust.  If Snape had a true change of heart during that period 
[too much exposure to good], Voldemort would not know about it, and 
Dumbelore's remark at the Karkaroff's trial could still be explained in 
terms of the original mission thus giving Snape room for maneuver.

Sorry if this does not make much sense --it's syntax and not spelling I'm 
worried about.
