You may be right. I respected Snape a lot after he showed his Dark 
mark to Fudge in GoF. I am hoping that you wrong, sorry! :o)

But it is possible. Everything is possible after OoP, when Snape went 
against Dumbledore's direct orders.

You know what other thing besides him stopping Harry's lessons made 
me suspicious? He stopped Harry from saying Voldemort's name.

My first reaction was "how dare you? :o)" I think  that by now Harry 
earned the right to call Voldemort how he wants to.
My second reaction was that Snape is afraid and that he can be scared 
of the Dark Lord. 

and I feel that Snape is responsible for

Oh, that was Snape at his best. I love Sirius dearly. In fact I love 
him and Snape as couple :o), but I think that Dumbledore is the main 
reason of his death or "supposed death" ;)

 My bet is that Snape knows the prophecy is

It is possible that Snape is in it for himself only, but I hope that 
he has some kind feelings somewhere deep inside his greasy head, 
very, very deep. :o)
