Alla: 

But here is my problem then. Is what Snape doing enough to be 
considered a good person? I mean, yes, he is fighting against the Bad 
Guy. I don't think I can doubt his loyalty to the cause anymore, but 
does fighting against Evil automatically makes you good or is he just 
a bad guy, who is on the right side?

Because see obnoxious, is way too nice a word to call what he does to 
Harry,IMO.

That is of course only valid If you think that he is not pretending 
and truly hates Harry, which I tend to agree with at the moment.

Alla:

 From those two options, of course I choose Snape, but to tell you 
the truth, i am still more impressed with crouch!Moody teaching 
methods than I was with Snape.
