Snape's Attack on Flitwick

Although I lean to believing that Snape killed Dumbledore on 
Dumbledore's orders, and that Snape isn't really working for 
Voldemort, I am most troubled by my inability to reconcile Snape's 
attack on Flitwick with this theory.

Hermione described how Flitwick rushed to Snape's office to alert him 
to the Death Eaters entering Hogwarts. Snape knocked Flitwick out. And 
I do believe Harry's statement to Hermione that had she tried to 
prevent Snape from joining the others instead of helping Flitwick, 
that Snape would have killed her and Luna.

This is the piece of the puzzle I cannot reconcile.  This has probably 
been addressed in previous posts but the subject of Snape's role is so 
broad, I'm bringing this component up as a thread, looking for further 
thoughts on it.
