Charles:
When DD is taking Harry to get Slughorn to come to hogwarts, he takes 
Harry for side-along apparition. He says "[Take]my left, if you don't 
mind, as you have noticed my wand arm is a little fragile at the 
moment."

This is an interesting theory with only one possible hole that I see. 
I don't think DD would want to disguise himself as Snape and visit the 
DE, for the simple fact that Snape must surely still participate in 
some of the, shall we say less savory aspects of DE life to maintain 
his cover. I don't think DD would want to have to perform said acts.
