Personally, I think Snape changed sides because he's a Slytherin. In the 
first book it says that a Slytherin would do anything to meet their ends. 
Anything COULD involve betraying the dark lord at the height of his power and 
joining the good side. What could those ends be? *shrugs* 

I also think Harry might save/protect Snape in some way. If/when Voldemort 
finds out about Snape's disloyality do you think he's just going to give him 
the ol' Avada Kedavra and be done with it? PUH! Not likely. I imagine he'd 
make an example out of Traitor!Snape. Even though there have been plently of 
times when Harry wanted to see Snape in extreme pain/under cruciatus/etc..I'm 
sure he wouldn't just sit by (if he's there)
