Amandageist:

And also a headmaster wise

Who let all that meanness disguise

The potion-man's task--

Quite handy, to mask

The truth behind their enterprise.

Well. It looks like she does, enough to very much discourage me. But 
remember--we are talking about the woman who has made a second career 
out of not answering questions while she seems to, to the point of 
bemoaning and pointing out when she actually *does.* I think it would 
be very out of character for her to be giving us "Yes"/"No"-value 
answers at this stage--especially if Snape's allegiance is key to 
plot in Book 7.

It still, I think, could go either way.

Earlier interviews--wasn't Snape to redeem himself? "Redeem" is an 
interesting use if it's in spite of his intentions. Hm. Link, anyone 
with more time?
