I fully agree...and was on my way to posting that...  Snape my have 
been noble in his devotion to keeping Harry safe (as terrible as Snape 
acted) but he was driven throughout by the image and memory of Lily.  
It was tunnel vision, he loved her and that was in...no one else...he 
did what he did because he was tormented by her death.  In the end 
Snape wanted to imagine he was looking into Lily's eyes before death.
