I believe that this IS the logical next step for evil Snape, which is also 
why I believe Snape is NOT evil and will not be taking that step. 

Snape's only concerned after Dumbledore died (in what I can't 
help but to reiterate was in a very NON AK way -- eyes closed,
blood, no scared expression, lifting up and falling over the tower...)
was getting out with Draco. Harry got in the way, as he would do,
but an evil Snape would have allowed others to curse Harry, and he
would have of course cursed Harry himself instead of just deflect
the curses Harry tried. An evil Snape would not have said "He
belongs to the Dark Lord" or whatever the exact words were, but
he would have DELIVERED Harry to the Dark Lord. Without 
Dumbledore's protection, he'd have nothing to lose. I believe,
and I know I'm not alone, that there is a preponderance of 
evidence in that scene that prove Snape is not ESE!. 

I have a strong suspicion that Snape is taking Draco into hiding. 
Snape will need to be in hiding from the Order, the Ministry,
and from Voldemort; I am sure that Voldemort will be none
too pleased that Snape did the deed assigned to Draco because
Draco couldn't go through with it. Draco, Narcissa, Belatrix, and 
Severus would all be killed or at least very severely punished and
tortured for the Unbreakable Vow. I wouldn't be surprised if
Snape is hiding Narcissa along with Draco.

There is no evidence that Snape knows anything about Horcruxes and
with the exception of the diary no evidence that Voldemort knows that
any more are missing or in danger. He still thinks Harry and
Dumbledore know nothing about them.


Marianne S:
Here's my thought about Horcruxes. Snape knows about them. I feel
about this because I believe he had to know what the cursed object
was when he kept the Ring Horcrux from killing Dumbledore.  I don't 
believe that Voldemort would create more than 6 horcruxes (i.e. 
create a replacement Horcrux for the diary) because that would mean
his soul has been split into more than 7 parts. I do agree, however, 
that Voldemort likely has no idea that Dumbledore, Harry (with Ron 
and Hermione), and I predict Snape as well have been/will continue 
to be after these horcruxes. It is my opinion that Snape doesn't 
like Harry because he CHOOSES to see and interpret Harry and his 
words/actions in an unlikeable way... he chooses to see the James
in Harry instead of ever consciously noticing the Lily within him, as I 
posit this may be too painful for Severus... who may see that kind of 
pain as week. Nevertheless, I believe Snape knows that he and Harry 
are both after the same thing -- destruction of Horcruxes and 
Voldemort, and I think Harry's going to need some help (even if
 begrudgingly) from the Half Blood Prince to accomplish this.
