Carodave adds:

In GoF, Fake!Moody told Harry that he would be honored above all 
other DEs for killing Harry, after Harry's return from the 
graveyard, where LV unsuccessfully tried again to kill him.

"The Dark Lord didn't manage to kill you, POtter, and he so wanted 
to...imagine how he will reward me when he finds I have done it for 
him...I will be honored beyond all other Death Eaters..."  (p678 
American version)

Why doesn't Snape take Harry for LV?  The only reason I can come up 
with is that Snape is actually on the side of good and protecting 
Harry.  (even though I still believe in ESE!Snape)

If you believe that Snape is still a DE, then why not take Harry to 
LV as a prize?  LV can then AK Harry and be the supreme wizard of 
his dreams.  Knowing the prophecy, Snape can assist LV by putting a 
petrificus totalis on Harry so he is helpless while LV kills him.

If you believe that Snape is out for himself, then why not take 
Harry to LV anyway?  Knowing the prophecy, one of them will kill the 
other, leaving Snape with only one to eliminate on his road to 
supremacy.
