Lorel responds:
That may be an excellent point. It depends, though, on how the foe-
glass identifies enemies. At the time that Harry saw the foe-glass, 
LV (and therefore Barty Crouch) still considered Snape a deserter 
from the DE fold; it was not until afterward that Snape approached LV 
(per Snape's explanation in Spinner's End). If the foe-glass shows 
absolute truth, then you're onto something; if it shows those whom 
its owner considers enemies, then we're back to square one.
