Dumbledore lied to Harry... AGES ago

PS page 300 canon:

<<DD:  And then your father did something Snape could never forgive.
Harry: What?
DD:  He saved his life.  <snip>  I do believe he worked so hard to 
protect you this year because he felt that would make him and your 
father even.  Then he could go back to hating your father's memory 
in peace.>>

WHAT????  If you believe (and I do) that JKR had the whole thing 
mapped out from the beginning, this makes no sense.  Dumbledore 
clearly knew that Snape was protecting Harry out of love for Lily, 
and the promise he made Dumbledore after she died.  We have seen 
Dumbledore redirect Harry, and lie via omission, but I can't recall 
another outright lie like that.  We have NO REASON to think that 
Snape felt anything of the sort.

disappointing)
