Snape's sudden movement and Fudging things

I was certain I'd seen this thread recently, but I can't find it, so 
apologies if it's duplication.

We'll know soon enough, but I want to register a last minute vote for 
the theory that Snape is going to try and infiltrate the Death Eaters 
and is using Lucius Malfoy as his way back in.

I've read so many HP theories I don't know if this idea is really 
mine or someone else's but this is the reading of Snape's sudden 
movement that I favour.  He reacts involuntarily when Harry accuses 
Malfoy because if Lucius is arrested and carted off to Azkaban then 
his carefully cultivated Death Eater contact will be useless.  He 
looks at Fudge to check if the Minister believes it, because if Fudge 
does, the plan is ruined. 

Incidentally I don't believe Fudge is a Death Eater.  I think his 
behaviour at the end of GOF is exactly what it seems: sticking his 
head in the sand.   I think this incompetence is verified by his 
name, as to fudge carries overtones of putting together something 
inadequate.

Let's hope I don't have egg on my face after June 21 <grin>.
