I tend to think (after reading all the books many times 
over esp. book three and five) that snape probably has 
some serious issues that have up till now not been 
worked on and allowed to fester. It wouldn't suprize me 
if he cannot get past how much he despises, loathes and 
destests everything around and to do with harry.

I can see him being the kind of person who possibly 
did a re-think at the the end of VW1 and possibly came
to a conclusion that it might be time to switch sides
to (as some have suggested) attone for wrong doings in
the past but when it comes to harry that is his
acheillies heel.

IMHO I can see snape either dying or being one of
those bitter person become a bitter senior citizen who
lives a looooooooooooooooong life and in the end only
has his bitter feelings as company.

that's just MHO
