Or... Perhaps DD didn't trust Snape enough to tell him about the Prophecy.
It seemed kind of like DD trusted Snape only to a point, because Snape had
been a Death Eater before, now I could be wrong on this idea, but this could
explain why DD never told Snape about the full prophecy.  Then you seem to
be forgetting what Harry and DD were doing just before DD was killed, and
that was searching for a Horcrux. DD had told Harry the way to get rid of
Voldie, was to find the last three or four Horcruxes, then he would be able
to kill Voldie for good, Snape knows nothing about this. So I still believe
Snape has gone back to the Dark Lord along with Draco Malfoy. Book Seven
will tell the tale.
