Allison:
I like Tonks and don't want her to be bad, so I'm biased, but one 
thing that makes me think she's okay is the fact that the DEs and 
specifically Bellatrix hurt her pretty badly in the battle at the 
DoM.  Obviously Voldemort's followers hurt each other frequently, but 
it seems to me that if Tonks is a spy (and she'd be a valuable one, 
because of the morphing) the DEs might be a little more careful not 
to kill her.  If she were a spy they couldn't be all nice to her 
because that would blow her cover, but Auntie Bellatrix does 
something really bad to her (a curse which knocks her unconscious and 
sends her falling down the stone stairs - and then acts very 
triumphant about it) which, if it killed her, would just lose them a 
spy.

Unless she's a spy, *and* she's never shown the DEs her real face, so 
they didn't know what she looked like . . .
