Snape the Traitor or is there one other

When Voldemort returns in his speech to his Death Eaters he says that one of their numbers, he believes, left him forever and adds he shall be killed of course. We most assume that the particular ex-Death Eater is Snape; even take it as a given. Now if so far we are on the same page then,...

Did you notice the possible red herring about Snape being a traitor? When Umbridge calls Snape to demand some Veritaserum from him when Draco and Co. captures Harry and Co., and Snape says that he can't give it to her, Umbridge says that Lucius Malfoy speaks highly of him. L. M. is a Death Eater and if Snape really was a spy for DD and showed his true colors to the Death Eaters as Voldemort wants him dead, then why would L.M. speak highly of him instead of giving him to Voldemort? Snape can't have placed a spell on him, Voldemort would have noticed. In conclusion, Snape is still working for Voldemort, maybe as a double agent, but still close to him. 

If he didn't show his true colors to Voldemort, and he is still working as a spy, then who is the person Voldemort wants dead? Who was it that he believes has left his side forever? If that person IS Snape, then have come he is close to L. Malfoy? OK, show hands, who thinks there is some love potion work going on? 

Anybody? Nobody?
