Well Julie, I am disappointed that you did not counter my arguments 
from canon for Good Snape in post 137271!! Never give up the 
fight!!!!!! :-)

As for the current post, we have canon for a plan between Snape & DD.

In GOF, DD says to Snape - 'You know what I must ask you to do'
So there is the first canon evidence of a plan between Snape & DD

In HBP, Snape tells DD that he no longer wants to do it!
IMO, if you apply logic to this statement, it suggests that whatever 
DD wants Snape to do, it has not happened as yet. Therefore DD & 
Snape's plan is NOT simply to rejoin Voldemort and act as spy as this 
has already happened.

Therefore the plan takes place after these events. Which brings us to 
the 'Tower'.

Now, let us consider DD & Voldemort. Two incredibly powerful, 
intelligent wizards. Why would either of them completely trust Snape?
Voldemort would not (even though he as accepted him as a DE). How 
could Snape prove his worth - by killing DD.
DD is no less intelligent that VOldemort, so must have a cast-iron 
reason for trusting Snape.

The clues are all there - unless you think this is all one big double 
bluff!!

Finally, I found it interesting that Snape & Wormtail were together 
in HBP. Could it be (one of) Snape's jobs to remind Wormtail of his 
debt!!
