I like Snape! Ever since the begining I was conviced he was good. I always thought if Dumbledore likes him and without a doubt go to bat for him then he knows something about Snape's inner person. Snape must have proved himself to Dumbledore without a question where his loyalty lies. Does it say what ever happened between them that Dumbledore likes him so?? 

It seemed there were quite a bit of times where I had my doubts about him. He covered himself up really good, but he always protected the kids(actions spoke louder than his words). It really broke my heart when he died, but I know Harry finally saw the real Snape and he appreciated him at the end. As for me liking him if I was a student, I think I would, I didnt think he was that bad and he sure knew what he was doing! If I was a teacher yes, I would have loved to hang out with him. 

I think all that happened to him as a student in Hogwarts made him who he is. He is gaurded and he protects himself, but I think he would let his guard down if he had to. He was my absoulute favorite in the books and the movies!
