Alla:

I want to say it again. If Snape is being nice to Harry , it will 
only help him maintain his supposed cover (I don't believe that he is 
spying), IMO.

Then in Voldemort's eyes, Snape will be in Dumbledore's good graces, 
because he will be nice to Dumbledore's "golden boy".
If Snape is nasty to Harry, would not it be logical to VOldemort to 
think that Dumbledore will not trust Snape that much, because of what 
he does to Harry?

Alla:

Not evil , no, but so very far from good person yet.
