Now me (Cindy):
I have been thinking about this one a lot. The reason I was so excited
over ootp is because I thought I'd finally get to find out what my
favourite character has been up to (Snape), alas, jkr had other
plans...As to the whole 'lap dog' comment, I don't really believe
anything that comes out of Sirius Black's mouth, especially when it
concerns Snape. I think that the only person who trully knows what
Snape is doing is Dumbledore, and he isn't about to shout it out loud. 
It is obvious that he is somehow spying on the DE's, but I don't think
 that we have enough factual info yet to speculate how. Though, I
can't wait to find out!
