Tonks replies:
Here is an idea.. what if Snape was on Dumbledore's side all along? 
And LV thinks he is a spy for HIM. Snape is a double agent.

Or if Snape was really a DE, maybe because he is very intelligent, 
LV and other treated him the same way that James and Sirus did when 
he was in school. Maybe LV didn't appreciate Snape's intelligence 
and that just got to Snape after awhile. Snape could only take so 
much "leadership" "do as I say" sort of thing from someone who was 
not his intellectual equal.

Or maybe Snape is on neither side, but both sides think that he is 
on theirs.
