Well, we know this:
1.  Voldemort must know Snape's allegiances.
2.  Lucius Malfoy is still friendly to Snape.
3.  Malfoy is a DE.
4.  Malfoy must know that Snape is OoTP.

This implies the following possibilities:
1.  Snape is a double agent, convincing both Dumbledore and Voldemort 
that he is loyal.
2.  Snape has a power over Malfoy and the DEs
3.  Snape knows something, IS something, that both sides want on
their 
side.  (Remember James Potter torturing Snape because he existed?)  
Who is Severus Snape?  And why does he remind me of Viktor Krum?
