I think it's time to digress into my favorite 'ship (which is followed by 
R/H) Snape/Lily, and mention my theory about how Voldemort promised Snape 
he wouldn't kill Lily as a 'reward for loyal service' since he knew Snape 
loved her.
And since Snape knew she'd die trying to protect her family, he (who I 
don't think was ever truly loyal to the Death Eaters) chose to go to 
Dumbledore, in order to save her.

This could explain half of his irrational actions in PoA.  After all, he 
did believe Sirius betrayed James & Lily, and I'd be pretty irrational if 
someone betrayed someone I loved....
