[HPforGrownups] Is Snape a good guy?

There have been a lot of posters extolling the virtues of SSnape and making him out to be a nice person. 
IMO they are all failing to heed the warnings of his actions (and JKR). He has held a grudge against Harry (and NL) since before he had any reason to treat them any differently to other pupils, not the action of a good guy. 
I believe that he is working to his own agenda and if we skip forward too the OOtP I do not see that he made any attempt to teach Harry occulemency(?) You do not teach anyone to hit a ball by shooting it at them at 100mph, when they are not even ready. He did not want Harry to protect himself, he wanted to humiliate him and annoy him so much that he could not learn. DD said as much towards the end of the book.
I Snape a good guy, I don't think so.
