I have a few random thoughts and questions about this whole 
Harry/Voldemort thing in general.

first, (and sorry about this Snape lovers, I love him too... but I 
try to be unbiased ;P) beside the fact that Dumbledore trusts Snape 
there is not a single real fact in this book that I've read so far 
that truly convinces me of his loyalty to the order and the "good" 
side in general. When Snape starts giving this Oclumency classes to 
Harry, everything got worse. Harry's scar hurt more and he started 
having the door dreams more frequently. it is true that Harry didn't 
practice what Snape told him too, about leaving his brain blank, 
BUT... when Snape first enters Harry's mind it is Harry's strong 
emotions about Snape not seeing his kiss with Cho that actually casts 
Snape out. Taking this into account, it appeared that what Harry 
needed wasn't to leave his brain blank, but to focus strong emotions 
and transform them into a sort of will power that would repel who 
ever was in his mind. We see this too when the Imperius curse was 
done to him. It's his will powered by the emotions of being ridiculed 
in class, which helps him fight the spell. When in this last scene 
with Voldemort we see yet again that what cast Voldemort away from 
Harry are his emotions... I know it was later explained that the sole 
reason for this to happen is that Voldemort couldn't stand feeling 
Harry's love for Sirius. But still we see that blankness was not the 
key but strong emotions. Then we find out that the whole plan to get 
the prophecy was to drive Harry to the Department of Mysteries 
through his dreams. 

This makes me wonder about what Snape was doing with Harry. Was he 
really trying to teach Harry oclumency? or was he doing his part in 
the big plan opening the link between Harry and Voldemort more and 
making Harry think that emotions were not his biggest weapon against 
Voldemort? 

I've always loved Snape. and the fact that he has always seem to be 
the villain or one of them, only to end up in false accusations has 
been brilliant on JK's part. But what if all these books have been a 
crying wolf situation? We always know that the trio will accuse Snape 
of something and it will always be a misunderstanding. It has 
actually happened so many times that we have been programmed to 
expect that Snape is being falsely accused. But what if this was the 
plan all along? And at some point Snape will stab us in the back 
without anyone realizing it? I think this is a great possibility, 
specially now that we have been given even more cannon scenes to pity 
and identify with him as a character (the whole pensive event).

Lastly, I don't doubt Snape's loyalty and good intentions in the 
first four books. But now that Voldemort has complete risen to power 
once more I'm not too sure this loyalty will stay intact. 

Just some thoughts
