And in just re-reading Spinner's End, I notice that at no point does 
Snape say anything that actually indicates knowledge of what "the 
task" is. Instead, his dialogue (which goes on for pages, so my cite 
is "Spinner's End" pages 32-37, Scholastic, 2005) is skillfully 
designed to *get* information and not *give* it. He often says 
nothing at all or says something in such a generalized way that it 
seems he knows something but never anything specific, which leads to 
drawing more information from Cissy and Bella. He's pretty tricky 
ol' Snapey is. Personally, I think it is DDM!Snape all the way.
