Snape and the Order in HP7; Will Harry figure it out?

Ah well, I wouldn't make much of a seer, but at least one prediction I
made somewhere, at some point along the way did happen in HBP: Harry
finally started asking questions. I think he also demonstrated more
analytic inclination, as well. I was impressed, for instance, when he
immediately copped on to the possibility that Draco had taken the Dark
Mark and was working on something for Voldemort, even if Ron and
Hermione weren't as convinced. (But he didn't seem too worried about
Tonks's strange behaviour, which indicates to me that he's still got a
way to go.)

Anyway, I am pretty firmly in the camp that believes Snape is still on
the side of the Order, which makes me wonder what he can possibly do
for them now that everyone believes him to have murdered Dumbledore.
Will he try to communicate with anyone?

Will Harry be able to step back enough - emotionally - from his memory
of the night DD was killed to question what he thinks he witnessed up
on the Astronomy Tower? Will he recognise what Snape was doing (ie,
advising him) during their "duel"? 

I don't think Harry will ever forgive himself if he only realises that
Snape was on the right side all along AFTER Snape dies. And if Harry
kills Snape and *then* realises it? Oh, dear.



If these questions are already under discussion in another thread,
could someone please direct me? I have been trying to follow the group
 as closely as possible but the volume the last couple of days has
been staggering!
