I am not sure about the Snape/Crouch/Polyjuice Theory because Snape 
knew exactly what DD wanted him to do at the end of GoF. It had been 
only a short while before that they had found out about Crouch Jr 
being a DE and the imposter Moody. Snape's mission was something 
they must have discussed when Snape realized that his Dark Mark was 
getting clearer...DD was reading signs of Voldemort's possible 
return.

When Snape was asked to go on his mission by DD, DD had this "look 
of apprehension" on his face. What was that all about? Did he think 
the task was too difficult for Snape (being tortured by Voldemort),  
and that's why he was worried about him or was it DD's doubts about 
Snape (if he has any)?

I have been wondering if Snape's truly back within the DE circle and 
Voldemort. Is he truly spying by pretending to be a DE? I just don't 
see how he wouldn't know about Voldemort's plan to lure Harry to the 
prophecy. Almost all of the DEs had to know the plan well enough for 
them to be present at the Ministry waiting for Harry to touch the 
prophecy. I mean wasn't this plan schemed after Voldemort realized 
that Harry could read his mind (after the attack on Mr. 
Weasley)...and vice versa? It took them a few months from that point 
to hatch up this new improved one faking Sirius' capture. Even if 
Snape wasn't "involved" in this "project" (not all DEs know each 
other's mission), Snape should've been able to pick up something of 
this new plan...
