Well, yeah. Double-agent is hard enough; being a double-agent when you're nearly constantly hooked up to a lie detector? Not so easy. (And not incidentally, of all things, a reason that many people argued that Snape could *never* have gone back to the DEs. Huh? How could he *not* go back and not become a target? Argh.)
But you'd be surprised by how many people conveniently ignore that he's placed at Hogwarts with the interest of the DE Gen3 in mind. Knowing what we know of Dumbledore it's fairly obvious, but over the years I've had to argue it more than I ever thought necessary.
