  Voldemort knows *for sure* what side Snape is on. Remember

Oh, I don't know, I would think Snape is probably the one Voldemort 
most wants to keep alive at the moment. I'm maybe SS's number one 
fan, but even I admit that there's a good deal of darkness in him, 
and for Voldemort that must the ideal weapon. He's someone very close 
to the war effort, and more importantly, Dumbledore, and he's 
probably the only one of the inner circle (of goodies) that isn't 
100% behind the morals of the light side. There must have been 
something which made he join Voldemort in the first place, and don't 
forget, he's sworn allegiance to the Dark Lord. Undoubtably, 
Voldemort has shown him some kindness or at the least, reason to join 
him, in the past, and Snape is bound to still have some loyalty, 
regardless of how much he may hate him.

A high level enemy who actually has some mixed loyalties must be your 
most powerful weapon in a war - if Voldemort's got any sense, he'll 
keep Snape alive until the last minute, then make him an offer he 
can't refuse.
