I think you have a point, but it may as easily be an intentionally
misleading theme.

I was re-reading the books to get ready for next month and something
stood out to me that I didn't think of before.  In GOF, when Harry is
trapped in the office with fake-Moody, Snape's face shows in the foe
glass.  Now, this may be nothing, but if Snape were really a Death
Eater, wouldn't he be friend, not foe, to Barty Jr.?  In GOF, they
also talk about enchanted objects being hard to fool, so you would
think that the foe glass would see Snape's "true self," so to speak.

I don't claim to know which way Snape's loyalties lie.  Every time I
read through the books, I can see a different point of view on the matter.
