My objections against the Polyjuice scenario are pretty much the same as 
those mentioned [most recently in Digest 737] by  Amanda, Koinonia and 
Catherine.

In the end it depends on what you find more intriguing. Perhaps it is Snape 
going as Crouch and facing dangers that involve maintaining this disguise, 
eg.  erroneously addressing Peter as Wormtail or vice versa. In this case 
Snape knows that if he is discovered he will be killed and that is the 
ultimate challenge he faces.
Or it is Snape going as himself and facing  Voldemort and the DE but also, 
the way I see it, demons from his past. He was a DE once, too, will he 
manage to pretend that he has never ceased to be one? How much of his act 
will be pretence and how much real Snape? Does he have the strength of will 
to carry out his mission, especially if Voldemort starts wining? All this 
difficult issues worthy of the complex man I envision him to be.

I believe that he too will be one of the those tempted. Most importantly, I 
hope that he will not lose faith in his own redeemability and ability to do 
good.
