No, he doesn't give a damn about Harry as a person.  Still, he does the 
right thing.  That's Snape all over.  And he doesn't just do it for 
Lily's sake.  Because Snape has changed.  Fred loses an ear because 
Snape saves Lupin, for example, whom he cares less for than Harry.  
Snape regrets having to witness the deaths of people (such as Charity) 
that he, because of his circumstances as a double agent) cannot save.

Can you give him credit for something, just one thing, without tearing 
him down and impugning his reasons for doing it?  

The man did help to save the world, after all.
