A fourth theroy:

Snape is, in true Slytherin fashion, spying for both sides.  Both sides are 
convinced that Snape's ultimate loyalty is for them, though are perhaps a 
little worried about "temptations."

Or one or both thinks he's working ultimately for the otherside, but they 
still get information out of him and thus he is too valuable to simply toss away.

Voldemort feeds Snape information and misinformation and sends him back to 
Dumbledore, where Snape delivers the info and helps him decipher it.  Dumbledore 
does the exact same thing and sends him on back, and Snape does the exact 
same thing.

Snape could be the main playing piece in the game that Dumbledore and 
Voldemort play with each other.  Chasers the followers, the loyalists.  Beaters the 
inner circles.  Bludgers the idiots at the Ministry, as likely to hurt one side 
as the other.  Keepers the base of operations. Seekers the kings, Voldemort 
and Dumbledore.  Snape is the Quaffal, messages written all over it, and can be 
used either for or against you.

And Harry is the Snitch, or rather the sniget, to be crushed to death once on 
side catches him and squeases too tight.
