although I doubt that there is a Death Eater who DOESN'T know)>>

Me:-

Whilst I would agree that every Death Eater *should* know about 
Snape's "defection", his treatment actually seems more ambiguous to 
me. Draco is Snape's favourite pupil. In return, Draco certainly 
seems to fawn to him. IIRC in CoS after Dumbledore has been 
suspended, Draco tells Snape that he thought his father would vote 
for him as the future headmaster.

Is it likely that every Death Eater neglected to tell their children 
that Snape, the Head of House for the majority of them, actually 
betrayed Voldemort? Lucius might lie to the MoM and the general 
public about his involvement with Voldemort, but his son is in no 
doubt. Perhaps, Lucius told Draco about the Death Eater involvement, 
but forgot to mention about Snape? Why?

Perhaps, Snape favours Draco in the hope that this treatment will 
convince Lucius to support him if Voldemort does turn his attention 
towards Snape. I can't imagine that Snape would be so naive.

To me, there appears to be either a considerable amount of ignorance 
about Snape's involvement with, and betrayal of Voldemort OR there 
are alot of tactical games being played, the results of which have  
yet to be decided.
