I think Snape's eyes "glittered" because he was excited.  The Second
War is about to begin - finally.

As for what Snape is doing for the Order this time out, I really
don't think he's a spy again.  At least not the way he was the first
time.  There are way too many people - including six Hogwarts
students - who know about it, for one thing.  And I don't believe he
has been in Voldemort's presence since he was harassing Quirrell in
PS/SS.  Whatever Snape is doing, it probably involves some magic we
haven't seen before (there's always at least one new magic technique
introduced in every book).
