I always thought that Snape went to Dumbledore right at the
beginning, too.  When Harry is in the hospital wing and Dumbledore is
explaining (some) things to him, he says that the reason Snape went
to so much trouble to save Harry's life all year was because James
saved his.  How would Dumbledore know that without being kept aware
of it by Snape throughout the year?  

The most interesting (and intricate) relationship in the book is
between Snape and Dumbledore.  There is lots we don't know about
either of them that will be cleared up only when that relationship is
more fully elaborated.
