In the first five books, it looks like Snape likes Draco very 
much, or is it really?  Because in the HBP their relationship 
seems to deviate, Draco no longer try to get Snape's attention 
because he doubt Snape's true identity and loyalty.  And Snape 
no longer treats Draco the way he used to, is it because Lucius 
is now in Azkaban, so he need not to pretend anymore.

Snape came from a troubled family, there're lots of things that 
he wanted in his life that he never got, so, there're certain 
emotions trapped inside him, a father who gave attention (in a 
child and teenager POV)- like how Draco got from Lucius, a 
popularity like what James and Sirius had, a friend loyalty and 
great friendship like James-Sirius-Lupin-Pettigrew(?) got.  So, 
when the emotions was trapped inside, he can't let go his 
childish grudge, even though he is a genius.

Remember, high IQ doesn't promised any high EQ....
