Snape's lack of remorse

I have seen loads of post about Snape's (sorry, Professor Snape's)
turn of heart, but I just can't find a single line in the books to
support the argument that Snape has any remorse for being a death
eater (or for being nasty). In at least one scene, I notice the
opposite. 
The Following is a quote from GOF, when Snape shows Fudge the death
eater's mark:  

"Snape strode forward, past Dumbledore, pulling up the left sleeve of
his robes as he went. He stuck out his forearm and showed it to Fudge,
who recoiled."

Snape's actions don't sound like those of a man who is at all ashamed
or embarrassed about his past.

In the scene with Karkarov in the classroom, he doesn't seem to have
any empathy with his fellow ex-deatheaters.

I'm not saying Snape is pathological in any way - he may have good
reasons for lack of remorse. 

I would prefer if we could hold this discussion to what's in the books
and whether the books relate in any way to real life, rather than a
discussion of how wonderful or bad Snape is in your humble opinion.
