Why Spying!Snape won't happen

Dumbledore is not that dumb. True, Harry probably skimmed the Six 
Missing in his retelling, but still, Snape is a teacher at 
Dumbledore's school and is quite literally serving "that champion of 
Mudbloods and commoners". I doubt Snape would be able, or even 
supposedly able, to get around that. Plus, there's more of his 
background on the way. He could have blanched for any number of 
reasons. Finally, even when the Dark Mark began to appear on his arm, 
he said that he would remain at Hogwarts. Obviously, he "knew what he 
must do" by then as well. So no, the obvious theory probably won't 
carry.
