Rereading OoP I got caught by the scene Moody is showing a photograph of the
original Order at the "prefect party". He showed Harry everybody on it...
but there was no Snape!
Did he not join yet? Was he already working for DD but was not in it
officially, because of the traitor within the Order? Had he already changed
sides?
 
What do you think?
 

K -

I think that it is possible he wasn't a member yet, but even if he was it is
a monumentally stupid idea to take a picture of your spy surrounded by what
pretty much amounts to Voldemort's Ten Most Wanted list, so he wouldn't be
in the picture even if he was already in the Order. Plus of course to
actually be in the picture he'd have to willingly put himself in close
proximity to the others in the pic - several of whom he dislikes intensely.
