You know, I think you're right. And I just realized one reason why Snape
may be a teacher at Hogwarts - it gives him a perfect double excuse for
everything. If he's at Hogwarts, then if he feels the Dark Mark coming
up, or any other hints that Voldie is coming back, he can report
immediately to DD. But at the same time, he can tell Voldie that he's
there to spy *on* DD. AND since he's at Hogwarts, he cannot Apparate,
which gives him plenty of time to gather himself, any information he
needs, etc., before taking off to "return" to Voldie. I can see it now,
"I wanted to return to you immediately, but since I was at Hogwarts, I
had to make my escape and then come find you".

I do think that Snape's in for a rough time while trying to convince
Voldie that he's sincere. I think he'll be giving plenty of fodder for
the Hurt-Comfort crowd, LOL!
