Maybe he got out before he participated in those activities.  o_o

There's no canon proof yet that Snape every stood by and watched 
while his pals tortured and murdered. Why oh why would Dumbledore 
ever hire someone to teach if they had done those things? Just to 
keep a closer watch over them? That's taking an awful big risk. 

I'm not saying there's no possible way Snape was never that evil. 
I'm just saying we don't know that yet and until then I'm not 
putting him in that camp. One can still hope he never did those 
things. I don't like *evil* people either.  :-)
