Voldemort's when he discusses six missing death eaters.  Three dead, 
one too cowardly to return, one who has left him forever and one who 
is his most faithful servent.  Most people assume that they are 
Karakoff, Snape and Crouch Jnr, but I wonder.  If Snape is to spy for 
Dunbledore, he MUST go to the Death Eater meeting, but will Voldemort 
believe him?  Dumbledore told the whole WW that Snape had been a spy, 
Voldemort is unlikely to welcome him back with open arms.  Indeed, we 
might expect him to start thr GOF proceedings by killing snape.

Were you under the impression Snape's 'job' was to become a spy 
again? I wasn't at all. Admittedly I haven't any theories, but I was 
certain that Voldemort was referring to Snape, and that Snape, was 
out to do something, 'non-spy' related. Maybe he was going to Azkaban 
to consort with some DE who didn't know he was a spy, (not that 
they'd be much help) or perhaps he was recruiting past dark-wizards-
gone-good, that were never DE, or part of V's inner circle. Really I 
have no clue. But was I alone, the only who was sure (before she came 
here at least) that she knew who the missing DE's were, and Snape was 
no longer a spy, but just a good guy?

I don't have a clue.

Who, when reading through the books the first time, thought she knew 
everything, and didn't have any questions, and now, since HPfGU, 
realizes, her 'perfect potter' world, is a lot more confusing, and is 
(sadly) slighltly flawed in certain ways.
