Alla:

Please don't think that I am picking on you, because it is rather 
routine practic on this list to ask each other for canon support of 
your argument in the discussion. :o)


Could we have some canon on "Snape is trying to make himself believe 
he was never wrong..."?

That is one of the biggest mysteries cannon offers so far - we don't 
know what is going on in Snape's head. Some things can be deducted 
from his actions, of course, but I don't see how you statement can.
