Yeah, but most of the Death Eaters went to school with Snape, and know
perfectly well what house he was in, so making him head of Slytherin
when he wasn't one isn't going to fool anybody.  If anything, if Snape
was anything in any other house, and Dumbledore went and made him head
of Slytherin, it would only make the Slytherin parents more pissed off
and suspicious.  "Dumbledore made a *Gryffindor* head of Slytherin
house?  Those chivalrous morons are taking over everywhere!"  Draco
would be whining about it all over the school.

No, I see no reason to assume Snape was ever anything but a Slytherin.
