Me three!
I think of Snape sort of as a double agent. He's providing enough 
information to both sides though I hope he's more on 
Dumbledore's side. Snape seems to have some sort of close 
connection with Lucius Malfoy which suggests he is still playing 
on that side too. So, perhaps Voldemort does still think of him as 
loyal to him since Snape is secretly providing just enough info to 
them. 
I think we have yet to see if he is completely redeemed or not. Wll 
his intense hatred for James lead him to betray Harry? Or will he 
continue to support Harry regardless of his feelings like he has 
thus far? What is the reason for his support of Dumbledore and 
Harry? 
Aaargh! Too many questions!
