Now me (Cindy):
My in-built Snape-Radar detected some Snape-bashing, and I feel the
need to step up and support the Potion's Master.
I quote Albus Dumbledore, who has said this on a number of occasions
"I trust Severus Snape."
Okay, I am also aware of the fact that Rowling told us in her Albert
Hall Q&A that we need to keep our eyes on Snape, which implies
something dark about him in future books, but I honestly don't really
care. Severus Snape is my favourite character and I like hime exactly
the way he is, however that may be. I believe that he is neutral, he
is grey. He isn't black or white, but can choose to be one or the
other whenever he sees fit because of his neutrality. 
Perhaps if Harry had bothered to apologise for sticking his nose
literraly into other peoples thoughts, Snape would have continued
Occlumency lessons, because that would have proven that Harry is not
like his father.
