Almost everything pertinent on this topic has already been stated and 
restated on both sides of the argument.
I am one of those who believe Snape is DDM, but I will admit that some 
of the arguments against him made me think (and almost made me doubt 
him). 
But I have one more point in favor of Snape that I don't believe to 
have seen posted here. There has been much talk about Dumbledore 
repeatedly saying he trusts Snape. Some saying that it was only so 
that he could convince himself or because he was actually doubting it. 
Now DD may have told lies and may have hidden truths, but I don't 
believe he lies to himself. 
And he is not the only one who says he trusts Snape with a reason. In 
the scene where Harry tells DD that he overheard Snape and Malfoy 
talking. DD restates his trust in Snape. And the snide voice of 
Phineas Nigellus who was pretending to be asleep says 'I should think 
not.'
And if Phineas says this, I will trust him, because that painting must 
have seen a lot. It is clear that there is a firm reason for which DD 
trust Snape completely.
