Coward Harry, Coward Snape...

of having to hide his true mission, and suffering the derision of
others while in the act of doing what is right rather that what will
achieve immediate public acclaim."

thing: he wants Snape dead.

Pippin:
According to the late AD, very often, the things we want most are the 
worst for us. (Can't quote exactly, my books being 8 time zones away.)
I think what Harry and Snape really have to understand is that
despite their embittered history and all the rights and wrongs on
both sides,  Snape is just as much Dumbledore's man as Harry is and 
vice versa.

happy to report from Accio that Snape has been acquitted of all
charges
