What if Snape does not have to maintain any cover?

Here is the question I want to ask Snape apologists. :o)


Suppose, we will learn later in the books  that Snape never went back 
to spying  since he started teaching at Hogwarts. Personally I always 
thought that whatever mission Dumbledore gave him at the end of GoF 
was not spying or at least not spying in its conventional sence. It 
would be too simple.

Suppose it is a given that whatever Snape is doing for the Order is 
of totally different nature, that he does not have to go back to 
Voldie, EVER.


Now, if every Death Eater kid knows already that Snape is a traitor 
and Snape does not have to keep appearances, would you still feel 
that what Snape does to Neville and Harry is justifiable?


Thanks,
