Marianne:

Well, we know that Snape at some point came over to Dumbledore's
side.  Maybe this picture was taken before then. Or perhaps Snape was
never an official, recognized member of OoP the first time around.
His spying activities might have been had better cover if everyone
assumed he was on Vmort's side.

Amanda now:

I think the fewer people knew what he was doing, the better. And even if he
was already on the good side at that point, and even *if* all of them knew
it, documenting it in a form that could be stolen or otherwise used as
damning evidence is not a good idea.
