I've been thinking about this while I reread select parts of HBP and I 
have to say that this is the one part of the book where I think DD 
lets me down. I find it absolutely amazing (and infuriating) that DD 
who has always insisted on Harry giving Snape respect when he knows 
that Snape is the person who set in motion the events that left Harry 
an orphan. It seems to that is a slap in the face towards Harry and 
his loss. And when Harry comes to him in righteous anger he completely 
dismisses Harry's feelings.

I don't think it matters which side Snape comes down on in the end. I 
won't be able to see him as anything other than evil. The way this man 
treats the two students he managed to help orphan tells me he can't be 
anything else.
