Wow.  I've only been following this tread a little bit, but it's 
interesting to see everyone's different take on Snape.  Personally, 
I think with Snape, what we see is what we get.  A vindictive man 
who can be petty and hold a grudge like no one else I've ever seen, 
but does have a basic concept of good and wrong, ie, protecting 
Harry during is quiditch match from Quirrel, while all time still 
hating Harry's guts.  Snape can make life miserable for his 
students, especially the ones he doesn't like, but he would never 
cause anyone any bodily harm.  In fact, I believe Snape thought he 
was saving Ron, Harry and Hermione from Sirius.  And although we 
knew Sirius was innocent, Snape truly didn't believe it.  I would be 
very disapointed if Snape turned out to be the spy, because that 
would be too obvious, and JKR is better than that, however, I'm not 
expecting Harry or us to start liking him any better.
