Well, Voldie has a tendency to suffer convenient brain death whenever 
the plot demands it (example a: his Scooby-Doo tendency to waste time 
telling Harry every little notion in his bald head before attempting 
to kill the kid -- and then going about it in a singularly protracted 
and implausible manner). 

Assuming he keeps what's left of his wits, it's possible that 
Voldemort will attempt to use Snape to spread misinformation. But 
shouldn't Snape and Dumbledore be aware of this possibility? Either 
way, for the Byronic hero of the Good Ship L.O.L.L.I.P.O.P.S. to 
return to the DEs, someone -- Snape, Dumbledore, V. -- is going to 
have to play the fool.

And here's something I've wondered about, and apologies ahead of time 
if it's already been discussed: Karkaroff knows Snape worked for 
Dumbledore during V.'s first reign, becuase he was in court when 
Dumbledore blew his trusty spy's cover. Karkaroff has already shown 
he has no problem naming names to save his own skin, so we can expect 
him to rat on Snape should his former DE buddies catch up with him 
and decide to settle scores. So, even if V. has another brain burp 
and accepts Snape back, it probably won't be for long... not with 
friend Igor out there playing the loose cannon.

My poor Snape. Doomed, doomed.
