I'm not so sure Snake has an alliance with Skull Face. I remember Kojima said something (in a tweet? I forget.) about Snake's war with Skull Face. If it weren't for Miller, I'd look as a possibility that if Snake takes down SF, who in turn wants to take down Zero, this sort of redeems BB in Zero's eyes, which Big Boss uses as a cover to come back to FOXHOUND.

Even if Zero knows about OH, Big Boss could always tell Zero that while he may have founded it, he left it to his men to run after he left, and that one of them must be plotting something. Once Fox is captured, Zero's suspicions may start to rise, so he may be the one to recommend sending in Snake, just in case BB is still running things. BB would agree, thinking he could manipulate a rookie like Snake to buy some time.

The real problem for me isn't Big Boss, it's Miller. How does Miller go from (apparently) wanting revenge on Cipher as badly as BB to helping Snake (and thus the Patriots) take down BB in ZL? Of course, they could always retcon Miller out of the ZL incident, given that he wasn't a necessary character in MG2 anyway. Or possibly, Cipher could put all the blame for Mother Base's destruction on Skull Face over the course of MGSV and Miller could resume his working relationship with Zero, though I don't see that as likely.
