Best bet - DD did when Snape went over to the Order.
Otherwise his chances of survival would equate to snowball
in Hell odds. 

Mind you, if he did learn Legilimens at the same time - is this
why he's got such a down on Sirius? He read Sirius' mind re: his 
genuine motives/intentions regarding the Prank (that'd be fun)
and maybe a few other things as well.
