I believe that when Snape told Voldemort half of the Prophesy he
didn't know it involved Lilly, when he found out he went to Dumbledore
and told him that Voldemort was after the Potter family. That's one
reason Dumbledore trusted Snape to the end, the other is that Snape
made an Unbreakable Vow to protect Harry Potter until he killed
Voldemort. Snape was genuinely sorry that Lilly died but not that
James had, and because he heard the entire Prophesy he was not
surprised that Harry survived and that Voldemort nearly died.

Yes indeed, Snape wants Voldemort dead just as much as Harry does, but
for very different reasons. 

> Snape fights for good!! 

Snape fights against Voldemort but that's not the same as saying he
fights for good, in fact he murders the good.
