Well... for starters.. when reading Spinners End, I think most of
didn't believe that he was evil in Chapter 2 and that he was lying to
Bella and Narcissa.  Now that we know he killed DD, it makes you read
Chapter 2 a little differently.  

I don't think Snape is on Voldemort's side or was on DD's side.  Snape
is on Snape's side and whatever Snape needs to do to survive.  Its why
he never tried to help V return to power and leave DD... being on DD's
side on that moment suited him. 

What I find interesting is Snape's adoration of Draco.  He appears
genuinely concerned for Draco.  Regardless of any vow he made, he
seems to really care about Draco.. he doesn't even call him Potter and
if you notice in the books the Professors always refer to the students
by their last name.  It's just something I picked up and it almost
makes me wonder if the reason he didn't like Narcissa crying is that
he was as concerned for Draco.  Maybe because Draco can really compete
with Harry whereas Snape has his limits.
