Was Snape Evil?

Suppose there were no Voldemort and no Dumbledore and no wizard war,
there was just a teacher who treated a very nice boy (and all his
friends) like shit for 6 years because he didn't like the boy's
father. Is that man evil? I tend to think he is, not Hitler level evil
of course, but evil nevertheless. But now suppose that very same man
had protected the life of that boy and put his life on the line and
did everything possible to oppose someone who WAS Hitler level evil,
and suppose he did it for 16 years. Now things become more
complicated, a lot more complicated. I don't believe there is a simple
yes or no answer to the question is Snape evil. If there was such a
simple answer he wouldn't be such a fascinating literary creation.
