I have something to throw in here.  If Snape's mission is to pose as a DE and 
to even pass information to Dumbledore, he would still need to and no doubt 
needed to (during LV's first reign of terror) act as a DE. I have the feeling 
that Snape might've had to torture or even kill someone/some people in order 
to keep LV thinking that he was loyal. 

<He [Snape] looked paler than usual, and his cold, black eyes glittered 
strangerly> 

I got the impression that this was a little glimpse into the fact that 
Severus can be afraid of something.  Maybe it's not his *own* skin he's 
really worried about. 

As for the Snape/Harry moment of eye contact at the end, perhaps Snape is 
seeing a little of himself in Harry. He knows that Harry is as much a part of 
this as he is and that Harry will have some tough choices to make/terrible 
things to deal with.
