Snape- Simply a pawn?

In the endless debates about Snape I don't think I've ever heard the 
idea that Snape is really just a pawn. Few people seem to have 
considered the idea that it is Voldemort whose hand may have been 
moving Narcissa, Bellatrix, Peter, Draco, and Snape. 

What if Voldemort had at some point realised Snape repentence and, 
instead of killing him, simply decided that Snape could still be of 
use to him. Voldemort doesn't only use "bad" people he also uses 
the "good". 

Draco is given a mission that is sure to send his mother, Narcissa, 
into a panic (and that everyone doubts Draco can do). Narcissa then 
turns to Snape, the only person she "trusts" at Hogwarts. Along with 
Narcissa is Bellatrix, who happens to be able to hide her thoughts 
from Snape, who justs happens to serve as bonder. Once the 
Unbreakable Vow is complete Snape is bound to his task (assuming of 
course there is no way out of a UV). 

It's happened before in the HP novels: in CoS Riddle waited on Harry 
to find his way to the Chamber, in PoA  Peter played off an amazing 
ploy to get himself as secret keeper, and in OotP Harry is used to 
het the prophecy despite it being easier for Voldemort to get it 
himself. Snape has been fooled before, by Sirius Black none the 
less, so it can happen. Isn't it interesting that Peter may have 
known how the Prank was pulled off?
