There was such a theory proposed on the Mugglenet forum--
DIATSSISE

I found the "forgive me" argument quite convincing.  If 
you extend the theory to claim that Snape and Dumbledore 
were regularly exchanging places, it does answer a lot of 
questions.

1.  Dumbledore's seemingly OOC behavior at the Dursley's
2.  Why Snape took the UV
3.  Why DD trusted Snape
4.  The argument in the forest
5.  Why DD took the memory about visiting TR at the orphanage 
    out of a bottle instead of out of his head.  (That's 
    the passage Rowling read at Radio City, btw--??)

It kind of ruins Snape's character and it destroys some of the 
touching moments between Harry and DD. Would Rowling sacrifice 
character to plot?  NEVAHHH! :-P
