when Snape was chastising Quirrell about his loyalties?  I always 
figured that Voldemort knows he has switched sides, and was 
referring to Snape in the graveyard scene in GoF when he says one of 
his followers has left him and will be killed.  If Dumbledore was  
sending Snape to spy on the DE's, then I guess a slow death by 
torture could fit the "horrible to write" description...
