I´ll only comment on a few aspects for now.

At who else?

Ah, if he was, I´ll immediately renounce everything I´ve ever said in
defence of him. The very idea he was there gives me the shivers!!!
I´ve never even considered the possibility. Has anyone else?

Right.

That doesn´t quite correspond with the question above, does it?

Which means Snape was surprised Malfoy sided with Voldemort again. I
can hardly see the logic of that, after Malfoy (though indirectly)
setting the Basilisk free in CoS and thereby declaring himself a
supporter of Slytherin´s cause (if not Voldemort´s).

That does make sense, though. I see it all ends up at the question
whether Snape´s double role was generally known and whether he´ll be
able to fool the DE again into believing he never truly left their
side (if that´s what he is up to - mind you, it may be something
totally different). Hmm.
