It was the very visceral example of Snape standing with Dumbledore to 
rescue Harry from the fake Moody. Snape doesn't like Harry very much, 
but in an acute crisis, he comes to his aid. Perhaps it is that 
Dumbledore rescued Snape...from Voldemort, from his own personal 
torment when he recognized what being a Death Eater was about..and 
that it is Snape's personal dedication to Voldemort....or he has 
decided to do the right thing and renounce Voldemort forever..

I think that we all must realize that JKR has created a world where 
it is very, very clear where the ultimate evil lies....
