> 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! <

Was rereading HBP's first chapter. In some ways, whether we believe 
Snape to be good or evil, or on Harry's side or LV's, pretty much 
hinges on what we believe of Snape's /conversation/ with Bella. 
(btw- mongoose (mongeese?) eat rats too...*points to Pettigrew behind 
bookshelf and Snape's comments to him about finding him something more 
dangerous to do..*)
Anyway, about Snape doing *whatever* he's doing for selfish reasons. 
Atm, I pretty much agree with that. However, I realised rereading this 
conversation that maybe Snape is frustrated with or at Harry for 
something that i've not seen mentioned here yet...
Snape says something along the lines of "we thought Harry might be the 
next dark lord, someone to rally round once more, but when he arrived 
I saw he was completely unremarkable". It seems that Snape had, much 
like the whole of WW might if they knew it was 'up to Harry', pinned 
all his hopes on the defeat of LV on Harry. The difference being, 
Snape says he thought LV was dead at that point. SO, is Snape bitter 
towards Harry because he isn't inherrently evil _or_ amazingly 
powerful (latter would lead us to believe he's DDM) ?
