I think that if you put Harry in front of the Mirror of Erised at the 
end of book 6, it would show him killing Snape. So Harry maybe only now 
hates enough to perform an Unforgivable Curse, and book 7 will show us 
if he actually chooses to do so, and on who.

Choosing to spare someone´s (Snape´s?) life only takes on a special 
significance if Harry has the power to take it away.
