Carol responds:

I had a similar reaction to the first photo in the smaller version, but in the enlarged version he looks more grimly worried than evil. Maybe he's reacting to the news before Narcissa and Bellatrix arrive--both the needless deaths of the Muggles on the bridge and the increased danger that Harry is in now that he's being billed as the Chosen One.

But the audience will probably think that he's evil. I read a review today (in Variety) which said that Snape reveals his true colors in HBP. Um, has the reviewer read the books? I think not. 

BTW, his clothes look black rather than blue in these photos. Must just have been the lighting in the Unbreakable Vow photo that made it look blue.

Carol, who keeps making typos and hopes she caught them all!
