Pippin:
Dumbledore says he is and that he, Dumbledore, made a mistake to
forget it. And since Dumbledore has all the facts and we don't, I'm
inclined to trust him on this. Dumbledore is not usually wrong about
people, provided they're not concealing ill will. Snape's malice  is
right  out in the open, not concealed at all. It may be illmannered, 
but it's also a poor foundation for treachery.

Phoenixgod2000:
Snape is a bad man. A terrorist escaping prosecution by 
virtue of squealing on his terrorist buddies. Using a sports metaphor 
to describe Snape doesn't do justice to the position he is actually 
in. He should crawl on broken glass to thank Dumbledore every single 
day that he is teaching and not paying for his crimes in 
Dementorville.  

Pippin:

He may be crawling on broken glass; it would account for his 
disposition. 

Since we don't know what Snape did for Voldemort, and have only the
vaguest idea what  he's done for the Order, besides botching
the Occlumency (and I'd have to say that Harry is at least as
responsible for that as Snape is) and saving Harry's life (twice now) 
it seems a bit, well, lopsided  to say  that he hasn't done as well
for the Order as he did for Voldy. 

Of course Harry's just a kid and shouldn't be expected to share
responsibility --except that if he were just a kid, he wouldn't have
been tasked to learn occlumency in the first place. 

The young man who's acting like a petulant child in OOP has his name 
and picture on the cover, IMO.
