I think it makes a wonderful sort of sense that Snape was once weak, 
wallowing in his icky feelings and whatnot and that weakness resulted 
in or contributed to his becoming a Death Eater. It wouldn't surprise 
me a bit if his vehemence in that exchange stems from his personal 
and deep-seated knowledge of how easy it is to be subsumed by one's 
own negative emotions.
