I think hits to the hub of Snape, his duplicity, he acts mean and 
evil, yet he helps Harry when he needs him.
He has the Dark Mark of the Death Eaters yet Dumbledore 'trusts' him.
He also has the ability, 'Legimens' and 'Occlumency' to read others 
minds and block his own thoughts, which could mean he tells some 
people what they want to hear whilst blocking his true thoughts.

Anneli:
At the end of GoF when Harry's in the hospital wing, DD says something to Snape (sorry no page ref.) at which he turns pale and leaves.  I thought this might be DD telling Snape that he has to rejoin the DEs.  Snape will be able to block Voldie from reading his thoughts and telling that he's a spy.  There's a bit in OotP when Harry's learning occlumency.  He gets angry and asks Snape sarkily if it's his job to get info about Voldy (or something - sorry about memory).  Snape smiles and says "yes, it is".  I thought this was a ref to the fact that by now Snape is working as a double agent.
