I just don't see him that way. My image of Snape is of a reformed man who is working hard to correct the wrongs of his youth. More over, I believe that he cares very much for Harry Potter and is having to hide his affection in order to fool the Death Eaters. Snape has been there for Harry -- even saved Harry's life -- when it seemed most out of character. I think the truth is that Snape is always acting out of character, putting on a show for the children of Death Eaters who will report back to their mothers and fathers that Snape is definitely still on the right side because he clearly hates the Boy Who Lived.
