Great point!  Perhaps it will be Karkaroff who will return as a 
turncoat.  Ok, I don't believe that either.  

I think Snape will go back to Voldie, but will have to "prove 
himself" with some muggle torture, muggle killing, basically 
something bad.  I saw an episode of the TV show JAG (mmm ... yummy) 
where a villian that Harm needed to thwart wasn't really into the 
villian thing, but he was forced to prove himself to be a member of 
the villians team by killing someone.  (BTW, this episode takes place 
in a hospital) Instead of actually killing someone, he shot a few 
bullets into someone that was already dead, but the other villians 
didn't know that the guy was already dead.  The point of this story 
you ask?  Well, I could see Snape doing the same kind of thing.  I do 
wholeheartedly believe that he is one of the good guys, and going 
back to Voldie is a HUGE risk.  But in order to repay Dumbledore for 
all his trust and faith in him, Snape will do it, and will torture 
or "kill" perhaps a homeless muggle who has succumbed to the cold 
winter or something like that to prove to VOldie that he is on his 
side, when in fact he is a turncoat and firmly on the side of the 
good guys.
