>>Not at all.  Snape was a  junior DE at the time and although he may have 
tried to find out who was the  spy, he did not have access either to the 
inner circle and LV or to James and  friends.  If he had known, he would have 
told DD in order to save  Lily.<<
 
Was he just a junior DE? I definitely agree that he did not know who the  
spy was, but I don't think he was a lower-level DE at the time James and Lily 
 died. He had the Dark Mark and there was a spot open for him in the circle 
in  the graveyard during GoF. Also, he asked Voldemort to spare Lily, which 
he  almost did, and I don't think he would have even listened to a 
lower-level  servant. I think that Snape didn't know who the spy was because none of 
the DE's  knew who the spy was.
