brain-dead?  Well, maybe not.  I don't think Snape is as trusted with
Voldemort as he states he is;  I don't think Voldemort TRUSTS anyone
really.  Why did he made the UV?  Many people have addressed that - my
 short version (as I have commented on it a lot in the past) is that
he needed to protect Draco.  DD HAS always protected the student's at
Hogwarts, always.  To prevent a youth from committing the unspeakable
crime of splitting a soul or murder is something DD would have wanted
Snape to do - even if it meant Snape's soul(which I think has been
damaged due to his ex-Death Eater days).  DD stated that Harry was
more important than himself;  Snape saved Harry from certain death up
in the tower, IMHO.

How did Snape's "murder" of DD help the good guys?  Well, it prevented
several more people from dying, such as Harry, such as Draco, such as
the OotP.   DD made Snape the DADA's teacher, knowing that it would be
Snape's last year at Hogwarts;  the book doesn't state, but I have the
feeling that DD made Snape the DADA after Snape told him he made that
UV.  The plan to have Snape go back into hiding in LV's lair was
probably made then.

Snape's job as a double spy is an "act".  He takes chances.  He lied
because Bella & Cissie aren't on "good terms" with LV.  Snape even
mocks Bella about her being LV's most "trusted" servant.  Kreacher is
mad, crazy and how would he know anything?  Since DD questioned
Kreacher, who is to say that DD didn't do a little modification on
Kreacher's memory?   Bella & Cissie don't know much of anything, when
you break it down.  Cissie is not part of LV's crew - her husband is
and he is locked away in prison.  Bella is just as mad as Kreacher.
