Everyone in the Order is a spy when you get right down to it. I 
mean, not everyone believed Voldemort was back and it's not like 
they could tell the whole world they were all in a secret society 
fighting against Voldemort. Think of Mr. Weasly, Kingsley and Tonks 
working at the Ministry of Magic. 

Anyway my point is that maybe Snape's work doens't involve direct 
contact with Voldemort or his Death Eaters. If it did, I highly 
doubt he would still be alive. We all know how Voldemort and DEs are 
about those who've betrayed them- not very forgiving. So yeah, I'm 
thinking Snape's duties to the Order involve something else. 
Obviously I don't know what that is, but I'm sure it exists. We've 
all only assumed what Dumbledore told him to do was to go back to 
being a DE. He couldn't do that because of my statement above. There 
has never been any evidence to back up these assumptions, it's never 
been said what Snape really does. Unless it has and I missed it, if 
so I take back that last comment. :-)
