I never ment to imply that Snape was still working for LV, but It's 
undeniable that Snape holds a grudge against Harry and his father.  
He has frequently told Harry about how arrogant his father was, and 
probably supects that Harry dosn't believe him.  This memory shows 
that apparently Snape has been truthfull about Harry's dad (although 
it clearly only shows one side of the story), and at the same times 
hurts Harry, by showing him that his father was arrogant.  None of 
this proves that Snape is still a DE, it simply proves he is a man 
with a grudge against Harry and his father, who is still looking for 
a way to get even.
