Lupinlore:

4) DANGEROUSLY TWISTED SNAPE: In this variant, Snape will remain
loyal to Dumbledore, but his inability to put aside his grudges will
lead to disaster. Some see the failure of Occlumency in OOTP as a
foreshadowing. Others think that the problems arising from Harry's
inability to trust Snape in OOTP will be mirrored by disaster arising
from Snape's inability to trust Harry in later books.

Personally, I think this is the most plausible direction for the
Potions Master. Certainly their has been a lot of groundwork laid for
such a development.


Bonnie Now:

Okay, this is the most plausible IMO, but haven't we seen a variant 
of this in OOTP.  A little corner of my mind still thinks Snape could 
have acted faster, or shown Harry he understood the problem.  Snape 
is after all supposed to be the adult.  Ha Ha Ha!  It's very scary to 
think we might have to go through that whole scene again.

Sometimes Voldy seems more human than Snape.  At least he shows some 
emotion of sorts, other than contempt.  Does Snape feel any real 
emotions, other than sorry for himself?

I'm sure JKR will have some surprise up her sleave that will totally 
explain everything.  I get so mad at Snape, I almost wish he would be 
the one to die.  But that would ruin part of the fun wouldn't it.

By the way, I think it's Lupin that will die next.  Sirius was such a 
tragic figure, death was almost a release for him. Only Harry's lose 
made it so sad.  Lupin strikes me the same way.  Death would almost 
be a mercy for him.  His life cannot be very fun.  Of course now he 
has the Order to give him something to concentrate his efforts on. 
(Assuming he's a good guy)
