This just occurred to me: (I had never even THOUGHT of this before, 
but now I'm totally convinced.) Snape is going to die for Harry. At 
the beginning, V will accept him back, begrudgingly, and sort of 
half-trust him. Then V will find out that Snape is a spy, and instead 
of killing him, begin to use him. Snape will eventually find out he's 
being used, find out that it's put Harry in danger, and stand up to V 
(and die). So Snape will die for Harry. I can't believe I never 
thought of that before. I don't think he will "die for Harry Potter", 
but I can totally see Snape "dying to defeat the Dark Lord", and in 
order to do that, I think he will recognize that he will have to die 
for Harry Potter.
