That's exactly how I see him . For me , it is his mysterious past and 
the obvious secrets that go with it which makes me -let's say 
attracted - to him. I have to admit he is not the kind of person I 
would want to meet in real life but as a character in a children's 
book he is simply outstanding.
I think that there's an explanation behind almost all of his 
actions , including his treatment of Harry and his friends. We still 
don't know what happened between him and James while they were at 
school and possibly even after they graduated. Dumbledore compared 
their relationship to the one of Draco and Harry but I don't think it 
was all the same. In my opinion , Severus is NOT Draco and therefore 
his hatred for James had completely different reasons than Draco's 
hatred for Harry.
Let's hope we will find a good explanation for this in the future 
books.
