Potioncat:
But, by this point, Harry is no longer a boy. He's a man--a man with a 
destiny. Snape is willing to die to bring down LV (at least he's 
willing to risk death to do so.) So he might be excused for thinking 
Harry would feel the same way. He provides the tools Harry needs for 
his task, and at last, gives him the information he needs. I don't 
think Snape wanted to die, and I don't think he wanted Harry to die. 
But even Lily, James, and Sirius expect Harry to risk the sacrifice. 
It's what they did.
