SSSusan:
If that is true, then I'm even more convinced than I was before that 
DD is dead.  

Since I am a quite firm DDM!Snaper, I cannot imagine the meaning 
behind that look of hatred and revulsion on Snape's face if he was 
aware they were only faking DD's death.  Nope, I think the hatred 
and revulsion were genuine and were there precisely because DD was 
asking/telling/commanding [take your pick] Snape to kill him for 
real, and he [Snape] really, really did not want to do so.

It's a good question, though.  If DD *is* alive, who do people think 
would know about it?  Is it a total secret to all?  Does Aberforth 
know?  McGonagall?
