Oh, that's what I thought too, I even wrote about it in my first post, but erased it, and now you beat me to it :-). I suspected it because DD's scorn seems too sudden and intense.

All right, I agree that we can blame him for his intentions, but not for his actions, because the actions didn't happen yet :-). Besides, intentions can change. Maybe, given the chance, Snape would start voicing his request and would understand at the last moment that it was just stupid to ask DD to save Lily and leave her family to Voldemort. We just don't know what would have happened, because it never happened :-).
