I think JKR recognized that she was talking to a very young 
reader who couldn't really process the idea that Snape wasn't as 
bad as Harry had thought him.

I remember reading a George Lucas interview where he said 
that kids younger than six or so don't really understand how 
Darth Vader and Annakin Skywalker are the same character; they 
perceive them as two different people.
