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. 
<snip>
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

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.

First of all, I'm posting after a very long two weeks which culminated yesterday in the theft of my purse and a call from my closest friend telling me that her father who is also a friend had a massive stroke yesterday, so my apologies ahead of time if this post seems a little disjointed at times.  I've done a good bit of snipping as well.

I've always realized that Snape is JKR's most complicated character.  That's why there's so much discussion about him all the time.  I've never really fallen into either the Good Snape or the ESE Snape camp, because he's too complex, with a lot of motivations goading him to do the things he does.  I admit, though that he let's his bitterness and anger eat at him which leads him more toward the evil camp than the good.  I'm still in my second reading of HBP (last week and the week before were not conducive to leisure time much less leisure reading) and will probably have better formed opinions of Snape's behaviors once I'm finished.  Personally, I would love to see a redemption story for Snape, but at this point I'm not holding my breath.
