There are other ways of spying then being there in person.  Snape could
use magical items for spying, contacts in Knockturn Alley, could slip
something in the drink of a DE that allows him to see through their eyes
for a period of time, etc. etc.   If he can't go back in person, he can
use disguises and general sneakiness to get information. Just 'a little
slip' over Lucius Malfoy's pumpkin juice and he would be spilling his
guts, then a little memory charm to make him forget he what happened..
;)

Everyone seems to assume that the only way Snape could return to spying
is directly showing up at the DE meetings. In fact, all he needs is to
Stupify someone like Crabbe Sr, take his place with a polyjuice potion
and a quick obliviate later and Mr Crabbe doesn't remember being
stunned.. He only remembers what Snape told him to remember about going
to the meeting.  Its not really likely for these meetings to last over
an hour anyways.  Would have to catch the DE before they popped out to
the meeting, but we all know how fast Severus can move when he wants
to...being he turns up so quickly in some places that one wonders if he
uses a time turner..
