I believe Snape did this, however, quite reluctantly which is why they argued as was reported to Harry.But I also believe that nobody in the Order has any idea of this. Members who otherwise would have  known seemed quite shocked. Snape is so deeply in that only he knows about it. I can't imagine anyone in the Order believing this would be an appropriate trade - Dumbledore for an unimpeachable Snape (as far as Death Eaters are concerned) and Malfoy's soul. It's likely only Dumbledore would have been comfortable with that decision.Harry isn't dimwitted. He's impulsive and he still has plenty of reason to hate Snape, regardless of the reasons Snape has done some of the things he's done. And even if someone (likely Hermione) figures out what's going on with Snape, I don't think Harry would be likely to care. And I wouldn't think he was wrong.I believe something is going to happen with Malfoy. He'll turn traitor on Voldemort for some reason. I've been convinced of this since the 2nd movie came out on DVD. The screenwriter was saying that some things have been revealed to him ahead of time by Rowling that have made their way into the movies. Sometimes it's a bit more told to the actors to get their parts down. Sometimes it's foreshadowing. In the 2nd movie, it might have been a cut scene on the DVD, they showed Malfoy being bullied by his old man. Perhaps it was just there to humanize the little bastard a little more, but I think it foreshadows something. And now that Dumbledore has been sacrificed to save Malfoy's soul, after he was having a hard time actually doing the deed, I think we'll see results.</blockquote>
