Another one I forgot to point out was when Snape stopped the DE from
attacking Harry during the "Flight of the Prince" chapter of HBP. 
Once again, one can argue motivation, but it does count as another
time when Snape was saving Harry's neck.  

And Snape also saves DD's life, Katie Bell's life, and Draco's life in
HBP as well as the lives of the other kids at the MOM in OOTP.  And he
stops Neville (I think it was Neville) from being strangled in OOTP. 
Not a bad record.  In fact, it's more people saved over the course of
the series (not including backstory), than anyone else except perhaps
Harry.

Sure, you can probably come up with an ESE excuse for every one of
those saved lives.  But after awhile, it starts to sound like just too
many to be believable for a true villian.
