Hi,
Please excuse breaches of etiquette as this is my first post.
I'll get better at this...

Now I'm a diehard Reformed!Snape believer
and will probably weep when/if he dies in book 7.

I hate to give out ammunition to the OutforHimself!Snape theory
but here goes..
Snape is a Slytherin (Head of House actually...)

In OoTP, when Harry attempts to run away from Grimmauld Place,
doesn't Phineas Nigellus say something like
"We Slytherins are brave, yes, but not stupid. 
For instance, given the choice, we always choose 
to save our own necks."

So wouldn't Snape save his own neck if he really was wavering 
between sides? If he had misgivings about whether he was on the 
right side, he made a choice on that tower.
