Valky:
Yes you are right. If we are assuming that Evil!Snape additionally
*knows* of the Horcruxes and that DD and Harry were destroying them.
We don't know that this is true at all, so it leaves the ambiguity of
Snape in tact, he could still be evil and yet have neutral enough
effect on Harry's quest for Horcruxes.

OTOH, what is very interesting to me about this all is that Snape does
know something that other OOtP members may not know, and tht the DE's
definitely do not. Snape has seen the connection between Voldemort and
Harry first hand in the Occlumency lessons. If he's clever worth his
salt (and evil enough) then he has information for LV that will change
things in the dynamic of book seven. Knowing first hand what is going
on inside Harry is very exclusive information. And it defintely
pertains to the part of the prophecy that Voldemort *wanted* to hear.
The part that was deemed dangerous enough to be protected, and
considered a weapon that LV could use. The question is: was DD
entirely mistaken in allowing Snape to be exposed to this secret? A
wizard with the extraordinary mental capacity of Snape could
understand what *we* do not, regarding the meaning of the second part
of the prophecy. 

Just some thoughts for the mix..
