Brothergib replies:

I cannot see any situation where Snape and Harry will join forces. 
Where would the conversation that brings them together even begin!!

Also, Snape is doing this for his own selfish reasons. I'm sure that 
the fact that Harry is intricately involved in Voldemort's eventual 
downfall annoys Snape incredibly. Snape will do his thing behind the 
scenes, and his true colours won't be revealed until the end. There 
is also a very good chance that if Snape destroys all the Horcruxes 
(or at least knows they are all gone) that he will attempt to destroy 
Voldemort himself!
