Why would Snape hide the fact that he is in the order? He should know that Harry assumed that he is in the order along with the other members because of the traffic in and out of the house. Wouldn't he want Harry to know that he is a good guy? Why would you hid the fact that you are on someone's side especially during this crucial point in time.[/b]
Snape's value as a member of the Order rest entirely on the fact that he is a spy. His value is that only a handful of people know where his true loyalties lie. If Voldemort was accessing Harry's mind at the time and Snape is a member of the Order and Harry saw solid evidence that he was, Voldemort could then know Snape was not on his side.
