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.<<

****Koticzka comments:

Well, it would be difficult to convince Voldie of Snape's faithfulness,
especially after a little chit chat with Quirrell. I do not think that any
wavering in Snape's devotion to V. would be any problem, as the Dark Lord is
in need of servants. So, the Potions Master would be considered lazy, slow,
cowardly perhaps - but at the end, he would probably be accepted back.
Quirrell, on the other hand, makes me more confused.

But if Snape is not a spy, do you have any suggestions?

How can you hurt a man who has nothing?
Give him something broken.
