Snape's not supposed to let other people on that he's a spy. With Draco 
Malfoy being at Hogwarts and keeping his eye on Snape, he has to make a good 
performance. If Snape did something suspicious (such as giving points to a 
Gryffindor, or being nice to Harry), Draco would surely tell his father, 
who's a major supporter of the Dark Lord. With Snape pretending to be a DE, 
he has to keep his act up at all times, so none of the Slytherin's whose 
parents are DE's will come on to him. Make sense?
