Pippin:
Yup. 

"I have already said that it was a mistake for me not to teach
you myself, though I was sure, at the time, that nothing could
have been more dangerous than to open your mind even further
to Voldemort while in my presence--" OOP ch 37

Even Dumbledore would have had to open Harry's mind further
during the lessons. There's no way Snape could have avoided it.
He might indeed have been taking advantage of it to help 
Voldemort, but if that's the case, how come Snape
never reported that Harry didn't know what was in the 
Department of Mysteries?
