Severus Snape is a member of both the Order of the Pheonix and the Death Eaters. The Order are under the impression that he is feeding them information from the Dark Lord's inner circle and Lord Voldemort believes that Severus is informing him of the Order's actions. The question is: which side is Severus Snape loyal to? Perhaps he is loyal to neither, only himself. Has he finally gotten over the loss of Lily Potter? The only thing that is certain is that he needs to make his decision soon - the Battle of Hogwarts has made his already precarious situation even more difficult to maintain.
There are many Order members who suspect him of being truly loyal to Voldemort; partly because they want someone to blame for letting the Dark Lord kill Potter and partly because everyone is under suspicion - being a spy he is particularly suspected. As for the Death Eaters, there have always been those who don't trust him amongst those who are jealous of his easy rise to one of the Dark Lord's most valuable but has that position changed? Where does Severus Snape stand now? Where do his loyalties truly lie? Does he have a conscience? All valid questions that are the topic of discrete mutterings in corners.
