Well there is a slight problem with the Foe Glass being used to proof
DDM!Snape. If the Foe glass would show enemies of the Dark Side then
there is one person in that room that isn't reflected in it while it
should. Harry indeed. He is an enemy, the only one that is
prophesized to be able to vanquish the Dark Lord so he surely should
have been visible in the Glass if it indeed showed enemies of the
Dark Side. So it actually does not show this unless anyone wants to
suggest that Harry is actually a Dark Wizard himself.
The Foe Glass is indeed tweaked because otherwise it would only show
the real Moody's enemies. DD and McGonagall are surely not (I do not
mention Snape because the real Moody does not trust Snape if we go by
what we saw in the pensieve). So to be honest with you the Foe Glass
is in my opinion a pretty clever red-herring because it actually only
reflects Barty Jr's enemies and this includes Snape, not only because
Snape is still working with DD and is thought to have left LV forever
but also because Barty hates those that denounced LV after his down
fall. He hates them so much that he actually wanted to attack them at
the Quidditch World Cup but Winky prevented this.
JMHO
