I think it would be more accurate to say Snape was working with (not
for) the good guys and continued to do so just as long as it
profitable for him to do so.

If Snape is a bad guy as you say (and me too) what would be his motive
for being loyal to Dumbledore? And I must say murdering a man is an
odd way to demonstrate your loyalty to him

How silly of Harry to believe his eyes.

A classic case of denial, rationalizations in the teeth of
overwhelming evidence. Snape is not only guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt, to my mind he is guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt. JKR may
not have developed your favorite character in the direction you wanted
but that's the way it is.

I disagree. I think Harry and Snape will meet face to face in the last
pages of the last book, and the results will not be pretty.
