The whole point here is that Bella's concerns are very, very valid. 
Nobody could be completely sure that Snape was telling the truth 
since he is such a good Occlumens. Voldemort is not stupid enough to 
turn away a Death Eater like Snape in such a powerful position, but 
he would be very foolish if he COMPLETELY trusted him!!

This is Snape's task - nobody else's. He will have to do something 
himself to disrupt Voldemort's plans

No canon for that whatsoever!!

Purely your opinion, but there is no evidence here that would torpedo 
anything!!

It is clear from OOTP that Harry is a poor occlumens and Voldemort 
could raid Harry's thoughts when he wanted to. Therefore it is 
imperative that Harry does not know of Snape's mission to ensure that 
Voldemort does not get wind of it!!
