    I like what you said about Snape getting himself into a more favorable 
position with Lucius - Snape may have switched sides, but I'll bet he knows 
he'll have to spy for D again if the time ever comes. Also, Snape may just 
like Draco. He seems interested in Potions, and w'e've never read about Draco 
being bad at it (or good either, but humor me).  Draco also may appeal to 
Snape because he could remind him of himself when he was younger. He's cocky 
and proud, and seemingly on the brink of the DE's (with his father and all), 
but might be able to avoid the problems that Snape went through. Now, I know 
that this is mostly speculation, but it's how I've always imagined the 
senario.
    Oh yea - and Draco hates Harry, so that has to get him on Snape's good 
side :).
