from the dreams and the such but he seemed more open to them to me.

J Lyon Responds:

My take is that Snape is a cruel, twisted man who has almost no  
ability to forgive any slight and always blames others for his  
actions. He yells at others for not controlling their emotions, 
and  then when his emotions come out they are always mean, and 
cruel, and  rather insane (spitting on the Quidditch Pitch after 
Harry caught the Snitch quickly and foaming at the mouth when 
Sirius escaped).

He may be on the light side (since he didn't try to kill Harry 
in book 6 and kept shouting out "Dueling for Dummies" hints), but 
he is not light. He enjoyed mind raping and opening up Harry 
for visions.  

He had the son of the man he hated in his hands, with the  
Headmaster's senile and stupid permission, and he was going to 
PROVE that Harry was no good and a rotten student. Of course, 
he also always made sure that there were a couple of juicy 
"James was such a dick" memories left out in the pensieve. 
After all, the arrogant brat would think nothing of trying to 
see HIS worst memories, so he made sure that they were Snape's 
worst memories of Harry's sainted dad.

The man has no redeeming bones in his body. He may fight against  
Moldie, but only on his terms for his reasons and not because it 
is the right thing to do.
