I don't buy the excuse that he needed to act that way to maintain his cover - he was doing it for years before Voldemort's return, and I don't particularly think Voldemort'd care how some Hogwarts students were treated. The way he treated some of his students, e.g. +After Voldemort's return, he went back to spy without hesitation. He didn't seem to think or care of the pain she'd suffer if she'd lose her son and husband but survive. When he first asked Dumbledore to protect Lily, it was only her. +He changed sides out of love for Lily and regret over his contribution to her death. +I do see the incredible romance of the idea of him loving Lily all those years. Although we don't see any of those years or hear any description of them, we can imagine the sort of crimes he committed during those years. +Again, I pity him on how he was bullied as a teenager. One of the main messages of the series is that choices make someone who they are. Unlike others though, I don't accept this as any excuse. Parental breakup and them fighting all the time, being poor, being picked on and isolated. I think that, while Snape was extremely brave spying on Voldemort and the Death Eaters for many years - and I can't imagine how hard that would have been - there are also many bad points about him. I don't see many who have a mixed opinion of him, so I'm going to try to explain mine. Either they hate him, or they love him and he's the best character ever. I've noticed that (here, anyway) a lot of fans seem to have severe opinions of Snape.
