Did you LIKE Snape?

"Did you LIKE Snape?" - Good question and sort of difficult to answer. :)
 
He is a puzzling person and I'd probably attribute most of that to what he had lost in his life - he was just vexed, I think.
 
I do appreciate him *a lot* for the risk he had taken i.e. he ventured to be in constant touch with Voldemort acting as though he is that fellow's guy while being a spy for Dumbledore and this, he did, to save someone who he probably never liked till the moment he said "Look...at...me"........!!!
 
His never-changing dislike for Sirius does not surprise / bother me, to be honest, for there was not much of a change from Sirius' end either!
 
Yet I feel he could have been kind to Harry, Hermione and Neville - at least, he should not have tormented them thus.
 
I don't *like* him for sure (it's tough to do so :)) but I do respect him for the risks he took and the stoic sacrifices he made for those he didn't like / love.
