Darcy's new job was perfect, a little too perfect. It gets complicated when Brock walks though the door.

A “simple” spy is someone who works for the enemy. This is Snape as a Death Eater trying to spy on Dumbledore.

A double agent is someone who seems to work for the enemy but is actually betraying them with them thinking the spy is loyal. That’s Snape during the 1st Wizarding War, betraying Voldemort and working for Dumbledore.

A deep-cover agent is a person who still works as a spy, for a prolonged period of time (months or years), infiltrating the enemy and taking posts of responsibility and importance in the war, gathering precious information while cutting off all communication with his side of the war until they are “woken up”. That’s what Voldemort thought Snape was doing in becoming a member of the Order, a Potions Professor and Dumbledore’s (fake, but in reality not fake) spy, only to reveal himself as a true Death Eater after all.

A triple agent is someone who acts as if they betray the enemy but who’s really working for them, making the target believe a (false) tale of betrayal. That’s what Voldemort believes about his spy after his resurrection, when Snape tells him he’s “spun a tale of deepest remorse” to Dumbledore.

A quadruple (?)/fourth-time agent is someone who says that they faked a betrayal to the enemy but who’s really betraying them: they’re “faking a tale of false betrayal to the enemy”. That’s Snape who did betray Voldemort and made him think he convinced Dumbledore of a betrayal that was fake... although it was not.
