Hmmm ... I think they get along but that's it. From what we know 
about Snape , he doesn't seem to be interested in being friends with 
anyone and especially NOT with the Gryffindor Head of House. 
If Snape called anyone of the Hogwarts staff friend , it would 
probably have to be Albus Dumbledore , although there is probably 
more of a father-son relationship between the two of them. It is 
quite remarkable that Snape obeys to DD's orders almost immediately 
while he hardly seems to care about anybody else's words (including 
Fudge's , who is , after all , the Minister of Magic !!!).
I think it's also possible that there exists some kind of friendship 
between Hagrid and Snape although I have to admit that there's no 
evidence in canon for that except the fact that Hagrid seems to 
defend him to Harry , Ron and Hermione.
