It's a war. People die on both sides. Would you be OK with your
commander being "vanquished" and having to "die at the hand of the
other"? I think Snape's part in this is certainly a lot _less_ horrible
if we assume Snape's interpretation was more along the lines of "Some
[adult] 'hero' is going to come riding into town any minute now to get
rid of you" than "someone who will eventually defeat you is going to be
born, best kill them as soon as possible". 

Especially if we assume by
extension that he didn't _know_ yet that Voldemort was all that evil
[i.e. doesn't know he's willing to kill a baby]

vmonte responds:
JKR said that the Death Eaters are like how the Nazis were. The Nazis 
believed in the superiority of an Aryan master race, and through 
Hitler exterminated everyone that was not one of their own. 

The Death Eaters harbour a genocidal hatred of humans without magic. 

The Nazis killed off whole families, not just their parents. 

I'm pretty sure the DEs are doing the same.
