We don't know directly that LM likes Snape, but we do hear from Draco 
in CoS (and this could be quite unreliable) that LM would approve 
Snape to be the new headmaster. 

If Snape was a Deatheater, he certainly must have rubbed shoulders 
with the elder Malfoy. What his opinion of him is we can only guess. 
We only know what Draco believes. Therefore I would say: either LM 
has a good opinion of Snape, or he is doing a very, very good job of 
keeping his real feelings in check. The latter would not surprise me.
