Snape, loyaltie and the fine thread

To all Snape haters:

It seems to me that Severus is one of the most interesting and human 
characters in the series. Most others are one dimensional, plain-all-
good-or-all-bad people. But Severus, aha, Severus is just like you 
and me, a slug, a saint, a traitor twice, trice.

Even when JKR has put many, many clues on Severus innocence, final 
redemption and utter salvation, the All-Bad-Snape haters blindly 
pretend not to listen, very much a la' Harry's.

But after following the threads, it amazes me that most of you had 
not seen the real Snape's testament at the end of the book. No, I'm 
not talking about killing DD, but the battle with Harry afterwards.

True, Snape hates the James he sees in Harry; the lack of focus, the 
lack of attitude, the pretention that he and only he knows and 
understands.

But at the end, finally freed of Dumbledore's restrains and instead 
of releasing all the hatred, he gives Harry a last immensely 
important lesson on Occlumensy.

That and the fact that he LOVES Lily and the redemption that this 
carries will be revealed in the last book. Just wait two years.
