I don't think so. Snape has always been fascinated by the dark arts,
remember what Sirius said about him in the scene in the cave near
Hogsmeade. Snape knew more curses when he arrived at Hogwarts
than most 7th years. I think he always wanted to be a Death Eater
when he was younger (like his Slytherin friends), but then
something must have happened to make him change sides. We
still don't know anything about his family background or who he
really was before he became Potions Master at Hogwarts. I am
sure we will learn more about it in the next three books.
