Snape's mission at the end of book 4 was to teach Occlumency to the
Death Eaters. Even the most loyal Death Eater would very much want to
develop this skill because being able keep things hidden from a boss
that powerful and that bad tempered could save your life."

lealess:  What would it take for any of these Death Eaters to turn
Snape in, though?  They fear Voldemort, and are supposed to be loyal
to him.  They are also mostly Slytherins, presumably, therefore always
looking to their own advantage.  What better advantage than turning in
someone actively working against the Dark Lord?  So, much as I would
like this theory to be true, I kinda doubt it.

I do think Snape is spying on some of the Death Eaters, which is
dangerous enough, as any of them can turn on him should Voldemort's
belief that someone left him forever (and should die) become a
certainty.
