What if Snape's identity as Dumbledore's spy is protected by the
Fidelius charm? As Secret Keeper, Dumbledore could reveal
that Snape was a spy to the court at the Pensieve trials and still
expect it to remain secret.The people at the trials would never be
able to tell anyone else what they'd heard.
It also makes more sense out of the Occlumency bungle. Snape
can reveal himself "Yes, Potter, that is my job" without fear.
Voldemort, even if he is occupying Harry's mind at that moment,
will not find out. But the Secret Keeper is another matter, and this
may be another reason that Dumbledore chose not to teach
Occlumency to Harry himself.
GoF does say that Harry told Ron and Hermione about
"everything Harry had seen in the Pensieve." But if
Dumbledore's words "and turned spy for us" were omitted by
the operation of Fidelius, would Harry even know?
