Snape detractors unsophisticated?

As for canon on the detractor side, several of us have said that from 

all we

know of Dumbledore, over six books, we believe it is absolutely out of

character for Dumbledore to ask anyone to commit murder. Now 

especially

since HBP, because we have learned about horcruxes and been told that 

murder

splits the soul.

Virginia now:

It is really hard for me to express my thoughts in english bacause I'm still learning it, but I will do my best :-p

I just want to add to this excellent post made by Sherry, that I was a Snape defender before HBP. I saw him like a really interesting character with many layers, even after spinner's end, I thought it would have to be a good reason for Snape's behavior, but after he murdered my most beloved character, I became a Snape detractor. I have been reading all the posts I can serching for the thing that would make me change my opinion about Snape, but I agree with Sherry that based in canon, there is no way Dumbledore would ask anyone to kill him. I also agree that in WW as well in RW there is no justification to murder someone not even if the person ask for it, and if Snape was using another non verbal spell or if the AK was not what killed Dumbledore it is still a murder attempt, in the RW if someone shoot with a gun someone else and it does not kill the person, it is still punished with jail. IMO whatever the reason Snape did what he did and even if Dumbledore is not death (I wish but
 dont think so), Snape did a horrible thing and has to be punished for that. 

In the MuggleNet interview JKR said:

MA: OK, big big big book six question. Is Snape evil?

JKR: [Almost laughing] Well, you've read the book, what do you think?

ES: She's trying to make you say it categorically.

MA: Well, there are conspiracy theorists, and there are people who will claim -

JKR: Cling to some desperate hope [laughter] -

So, she said it is a DESPERATE HOPE...! 

I also believe that It will be some kind of redemption for Snape, but that wont make him GOOD, he, as the rest of the HP characters, is not all black or white. IMHO.
