Now this is interesting. But another problem now is: there is another 
wizard in his way - Harry Potter. But how good/bad an enemy he will 
prove to be, we have seen it already. Apart from the one-off incident 
of the shield-curse working in occlumency class, Harry has never 
gotten the better of Snapey. So according to you, we may count it as 
one more to go, yes indeed!

I personally believe in a DDM!Snape. So, sorry, I do not agree with 
your point that Snape wanted both DD and LV dead. DD was a sacrifice 
made for the larger good of mankind. And Severus Snape, however 
bitter and cruel he may be, did not relish making that sacrifice. He 
killed the one man who knew he was good at heart and that is a huge 
loss for him personally. And even in that moment of loss, he still 
could think of Harry's safety and leave him hints to improve - makes 
him an incredibly lovable person.
