In OotP graveyard scene, voldemort implies that the one who has left 
his service forever will be killed...
Snape's job (if we believe what he tells Harry) is to find out what 
is happening with the DE's.  There's a big question as to how he's 
doing that. I think he must have been rumbled by Voldemort and the 
other DEs. Not only is there the problem that nearlyheadlessRyan has 
pointed out, but also the fact that DD publicly outed him during the 
trial scenes in the pensieve.   Also, Snape makes great play of 
favouring Draco Malfoy, but surely Lucious would have warned Draco 
off.

So what is he doing? There's the legilimancy stuff, which could be 
useful in this connection.  But Snape seems to imply that he's doing 
really personally life endangering stuff.  JK is not explicit about 
what Snape is doing either, which if it was just straightforward 
spying there would be no reason not to say that.
