"My point in rewriting it was to show that Rowling most definitely
wants there to be ambiguity in how we view Snape at this point. If
she wanted his motives and his feelings toward DD to be plain, she
would have written in (as I suggested) a glare instead of a gaze,"

Just to add on ...a gaze is more like a thoughtful pause - it sounds more like Snape is reading DD's mind and comprehending it .
DD probably gives him a silent order - Do the AK on me Snape ...and Snape's utter disgust, hatred and revulsion towards doing dark magic again shows on his face before he finally concedes to DD's last order to him.

Bhavna.
