Fantastic, another Snape is Evil poster to try and convert!!

OK, I have posted some of this before, but would love some comment on 
it from the Snape is Evil camp!!


Snape's behaviour often suggests that he is on the side of good!
In GOF his reaction to what DD asks him to do to counter Voldemort
seems genuine.
In OOTP it is clear that Snape ensures that the Order rush to Harry's
aid in the MOM. If he was evil, then why wasn't he assisting 
Voldemort?
In HBP he flinches as he makes the unbreakable vow.
In HBP he doesn't kill anyone except DD, despite the ease with which 
he could have.
In HBP DD is begging Snape. DD would not beg for his life, would he? 
He certainly didn't seem bothered by Greyback's taunts!
In HBP he continues to attempt to tutor Harry as he escapes
And, IMO, most damning of all, is his reaction to Harry's comment of
Coward. Again IMO, it doesn't make sense that if Snape had finally
killed DD and freed himself of Hogwarts, he would care what Harry said
to him. He would be elated and not react this way.
What makes more sense, IMO, is if Snape has just been forced to kill 
DD(on DD's orders) to ultimately help Harry (someone he doesn't think 
is up to the job) and is then called a coward, he might not be able to
control his temper!!

And another question wrt DD. Why did he freeze Harry at the Tower?
It isn't to protect him since Draco (a) couldn't see him and (b) 
isn't a killer. It was for Harry to bear witness to Snape's apparent 
betrayal - in case Voldemort accesses Harry's thoughts again!
