Alla:

I actually agree now that Snape did not **pull the trigger** himself 
on anybody else but Dumbledore. And I argued vehemently before DH 
came out that he did since I also would find it bizarre that the 
member of terrorist organization somehow managed to have his hands 
clean.

But yes, his concern for his soul being torn tells me that his soul 
was probably not torned before, otherwise why would he be concerned.

Having said that, I certainly do not think that Snape managed to have 
clean hands while being a DE and to me if he prepared poisons for 
others, he is as good as killed those people.

I believe that Snape probably did not do Avada before doing one on 
Dumbledore, but as a member of DE squad, I believe he did lots of 
other dirty deeds that resulted in deaths. I mean speculate of 
course, I just do not see how could he not.

And of course I believe that blood of James and Lily is on his hands 
too just as on Voldemort's.
