The problem is there is no Cannon either way.  Even the items you 
listed cannot be proven in Cannon.  Did it take courage for Snape to 
show his mark to Fudge?  I don't know, maybe everyone already knew 
it was there.  It probably isn't much of a secret that he was a 
Deatheater.  He did try to save Harry from the broom, which 
indicates loyalty to DD.  But was he loyal to DD only because 
Voldemort hadn't yet returned?  He notified the order about Harry's 
departure, to keep his cover or because he was worried?  He was, in 
fact, a deatheater and must have taken part in 
deatheater "activities".  None of the info he's passed on thus far 
has brought and end to the war.  However, DD trusts him and he's no 
idiot.  I find him interesting because you just don't know what he's 
up to.  I hope we don't find out until the end, because I just love 
the mystery.
