By the way, an HPfGU post

has
independently come up with your theory that Snape's
reason for allying
with DD is to get revenge on LV for LV having murdered
Snape's wife
and child. This listie uses DD's words while drinking
the green goo
instead of using the Occlumency lesson flashback, and
postulates that
the Snape baby was born at the same time as Harry and
Neville,
therefore a possible Prophecy Baby. 



Serena:
I like this theory a lot and paritcualrly as I don't
for one moment believe the lame excuse DD gave Harry
as to why he trusts Snape, there has to be a lot more
to it knowing Snape as we do.
 I've re-read and re-read DD's words as he drinks the
potions and it certainly could be Snape - albeit a
Snape we don't recognise being remorseful, humble etc.

If we assume his child was killed as a potential
"prophecy child" while the other two survived then
that makes even more sense of Snape's behaviour
towards both Harry and Neville. That is, he knows
their birth dates too, their backgrounds etc. and
resents, bitterly, the fact that they both survived
and Snape junior didn't.
