To me the obvious explanation is that Dumbledore was pleading with
Snape to tell him he had not been a fool for 17 years. I've heard some
tortuous reasons to explain away Snape's expression of Hate as he was
killing Dumbledore but none of them make a lot of sense to me, and
nobody, absolutely positively nobody, has managed to come up with a
plausible explanation of why Snape murdering the best wizard the good
guys possessed helps the good guys. That has not aided the good Snape
theory. Nor can anybody explain why nobody informed Harry of this
incredibly loopy plan so he would not hate a "good" Snape with as much
intensity as he hates Voldemort, and probably put as much effort into
killing Snape as Voldemort.  JKR is a wonderful writer but nobody
could make a good book 7 out of that bilge.

It's not a prediction but it's possible that Harry will dispose of
Voldemort half way through the book and for the rest of the book he's
after Snape. Snape murdered Dumbledore and that in my book forever
puts him in the evil camp; however I do think in book 7 we will for
the very first time find examples of Snape doing good things, perhaps
very good things. I, like many others, think Snape loved Lilly;
perhaps the reason that Snape Hates Harry is not because he resembles
James but because he blames Harry for Lilly's  death. After all, if
Harry had never been born Lilly would still be alive.
