Yes, but...............

If Dumbeldore's point was for Snape to continue being a spy, there would need to be someone for Snape to report the findings to. Since he has now killed Dumbeldore, most (if not all) of the wizarding world hates him and would like to kill him, so there's no one who is going to believe that he is spying on LV so there's no point. He can "spy" all he wants, but he has no one that will believe him and act on what he sees.

If that makes any sense.............

Voldemort likes "trophies", so the horcruxes are going to be trophies. I wonder if Lily was wearing something the night she was killed. THAT would make a "Gryffindor" horcrux. And quite meaningful to Harry too.
