Potioncat:
I agree with this possibility.  For me the reason to "defend" Snape 
is that we're often shown what he has done and we're given someone's 
explanation for why he did it.  But we don't really know Snape's 
personal motivation.  It's like thinking Ron and Harry took the car 
to school to show off.  I enjoy looking for another plausible 
explanation...and waiting to see if it pans out in future books.
