Do we really?  I've been called a racists slur by a person who I 
don't believe for a moment was racist.  I think we need more than 
one comment to base his beliefs on.

I don't beleive Snape really believed muggle-borns were inferior.  I 
also don't think he thought they were equal, either.  I don't think 
he thought much about it until some one expected him to kill over 
it.  Then he made his decision.  He turned spy.

I do believe Snape joined Voldemort because he wanted power.  Mostly 
because we saw how much he hated being powerless.
