I am a charter member of the I hate Snape club, I don't believe you
could find anybody senior to me. After reading book 7 I conclude that
Snape was a total SOB, but was he evil? Well, you're unlikely to find
a more unpleasant person than Snape but as Hermione said evil is a
strong word. Snape was brilliant, powerful, and outrageously brave, a
classic literary hero; in other words Snape was a complete bastard. 

You just can't just sum up Snape's life with a few dozen words, he's
far far too complex for that, he's both the devil and the angel, the
hero and the villain. and I don't think I'm smart enough to figure out
which of the two aspect of his personality is in the ascendancy, and
that is why Snape the literary character belongs to the ages.
