I've come across this theory as well. And it makes sense. But I maintain 
that how Snape is getting his information has something to do with the 
Malfoys.

In the scene where Snape turns up at Grimmauld Place to tell Harry he will 
be taking Occulemency lessons with him, Snape and Sirius have an interesting 
exchange. Sirius calls Snape "Lucius Malfoy's lapdog" and Snape tells Sirius 
that Lucius recognised him on the train platform in his animagus' form.

Snape obviously still has close contact with Lucius. I doubt very much that 
Lucius would have anything to do with Snape if he was still the "traitor who 
will be killed, of course" mentioned in Goblet of Fire. Somehow Snape has 
wheedled his way back into Voldemort's grace, or at least Malfoy's.

I am very interested to see where JKR is going with this.

Two cents,

Laik
