Okay, if Snape's not ESE, then why did he stop teaching Harry 
Occlumancy?  Considering all the posts regarding respect and the 
military, he disobeyed a direct order from DD.  Furthermore, 
regardless of whether Snape knew LV's plans regarding Harry and 
merging his thoughts with Harry's, one of the people Snape hates the 
most conveniently gets killed because Harry didn't block out LV.  If 
Snape had continued to teach Harry, then Sirius wouldn't have gotten 
killed because the DA wouldn't have known to go to the DoM.

And yes, most posters seem to agree that Snape behaves very childishly, 
like he's stuck on the things that have happened to him in the past.  
But that's also a very convenient explanation, in a way.  He can hate 
Harry outright, he can disobey a direct order from DD, get a member 
of the Order killed (conveniently a member whom he really hates) get 
several of the children he despises hurt in the process, and yet he 
still has his job teaching, still seems to have DD's favor, and still 
gets to behave like a self-absorbed teenager.  I'd personally like it 
better if he didn't get redemption, but his just desserts instead.

Snape ;-)
