Voldemort's position as soon as the opportunity presents itself, then
support him.

My sentiments exactly. One of the "disconnects" in HBP was AD saying
that LV was a loner and never let anyone get close to him, yet Snape
was implying that he was LV confidant and 2nd in command.  Now that
may have been boasting to the Black sisters, but my feeling at the end
of HBP was that SS is trying to "play both ends against the middle"
and end up in control of the Death Eaters (having disposed of LV) and
the Wizarding community in general (by "saving" them from those evil
Death Eaters).  If he could pull this off it would be a brilliant
coup, but knowing Rowling, he won't.
