Tanya here.

I have been thinking about this in a different view.  But here goes what 
things I
can think of.  I must got back and read, see what else I can pick up.  But 
I am not
sure that there is any cannon that indicates Snape failed somewhat in his 
spying
the first time round when he joined Dumbledore years ago.  What I mean, is 
that
did LV ever suspect him.  Then if he did, what methods did LV use against 
Snape
to try and determine loyalty.  Judging from LV's character, he wouldn't of 
hesitated
to use an AK for far less.

So, if Snape has fooled LV to this day in the series and LV knows where he 
works.
That idea could have some merit.

However on thing in GoF caught my attention.  It might be nothing, but when 
finished
the book and finding Moody was a fake.  Back near the start, when Draco 
became a
ferret.  Moody (fake) says he is very interested in having a little chat to 
Snape.  Now I
wonder what was said.  Would love to know if Moody (fake) told him anything 
about
LV's plan.
