I'm very interested to know what will happen to the relationship, 
such as it is, between Draco and Snape in the next book or two.  At 
the close of GF, Draco is getting more entrenched in pro-V enthusiasm 
(though I agree with you that he's headed for a crisis), while 
Snape's anti-V heroism is becoming more evident.  When will Draco 
twig to the fact that Snape and Daddy are not on the same side?  How 
will he deal with it?

For that matter, how public will Snape be about what side he's on?  
The Trio will keep their mouths shut, the "old crowd" will obviously 
do the same, and the "war" may remain an under-the-surface struggle 
for a long time.  Fudge knows that Snape is at best a bit too slavish 
a follower of Dumbledore's crackpot ideas, but Fudge has a third role 
in the conflict, neither Dumbledore's side nor Voldemort's (unless he 
turns out to be Ever So Evil); as things stand now, at least, he's 
not about to call Voldemort on the Floo and say "By the way, that 
Snape is worse than ever--recommend you dispose of him."

Indeed.
