Snape is an accomplished occlumens for a reason; he
possesses an extreme control over almost his full
range of emotions. Only feelings of bitterness and
resentment escape his total control.

The many small leaks and occasional gushers of passion
that escape his facade are expressions of his
bitterness, resentment and petty hatreds  that take
the form of sarcasm, verbal abuse, the hurling of
objects and a few foaming tirades.

His few moments of any sort of positive action are
passionless and reason based; they are a duty
performed and an obligation fulfilled.

So to me it seems that the only emotion that can take
hold of him and drive his behavior is resentment. So I
can't find it difficult to believe that at that moment
on the tower Snape was siezed by the only feeling that
seems to drive him, and he acted accordingly.
