Snape's mission

First Meril hypothesized:

Perhaps the plan is for Snape to disappear also, and to become 
someone else entirely--not change into a known person, like with a 
Polyjuice transformation, but into someone who is unknown. I'm 
projecting that this person would take over the now vacant potions 
position, the ever vacant DADA position, or serve as a spy.

My belief is that this sort of transformation is irreversible, and 
thus Snape's reaction to being told to perform his task is quite 
understandable: he is to lose his identity, permanently.

I *like* this idea! Snape returning as himself to Moldy Voldy just seems
too obvious for JKR. It would be so awesome if he transformed himself
into the persona of the new DADA professor.

Theory:  is it possible for Snape to transform himself into a goblin?
Then he could help negotiate with them to turn away from Voldy.

Then Magda suggested:

The task Snape is sent on at the end of GoF is this: he is to brew up
a batch of Polyjuice Potion and then transform himself into Harry as
a decoy for Voldemort.

No wonder he went pale.

Bwa ha ha! He'd have to be nice to the Gryffindors!
