Mike here:
On the one hand, this could be showing us that Snape is a faithful 
DE's "Foe", therefore on the side of good (a position I adhere to).

Then again, it could be that anybody in the company of Dumbledore, 
in his present state of mind, would show up as a foe. I bet if Bella 
was walking with DD at this time, she would show up in the Glass. DD 
was radiating so much magical aura, I'm actually surprised anybody 
else even registered. The Foe Glass must be reading intent towards 
the owner as well as proximity. (I know, blimey, what a waste of 
parchment :)

The problem is, we don't know how a Foe Glass operates and, as Harry 
tells us, you don't want to rely on them.
