Actually, what bothers me most is that if Snape was really a good 
guy, how come Dumbledore didn't know about our turban-wearing friend? 
It would be funny if Harry would mention those conversations in 
defense of Snape at some point within earshot of an adult who'd 
realize what it really meant. }:^]

However, if Snape really is a good guy, it would be quite easy to 
explain to LV (in between the frequent Crucios) that he couldn't know 
if he were being tested by the real Quirrell and Moody, or dealing 
with a true servant of LV, and to keep his hear in Dumbledore's lap, 
he has to play the part unerringly.
