  The only problem with both of these scenarios is that if Snape was trying to bust Q then Lord V would know that Snape was loyal to Dumbledore, making it impossible for Snape to return as a double agent to the Death Eaters circle as clearly was asked of him by Dumbledore at the end of book four in the hospital wing.  I think it was JKR's intention for us to believe as Harry did that Snape was the badguy trying to get Q on his side. Thats my two knuts worth...
