ahh, but prior to Nagini's bite, Harry described Snape's eyes as blank:

"And now Snape looked at Voldemort, and Snape's face was like a desth
mask.  It was marble white and so still that when he spoke, it was a
shock to see that anyone lived behind the blank eyes."
(p 655 US ed)

I still cling to the hope that Snape didn't die, although the rest of
the WW thinks he is dead.  He has taken off to live in some other
country, far, far away from the Potter boy :)
