You're almost on the same page as me. I'm saying that Snape has been a good guy the whole time, not that he was swayed by DD to be nice to muggleborns or whatever.
Snape has merely distanced himself from Harry so he can help him right under Voldemort's nose without either Voldemort or Harry ever knowing. By making Harry hate him like that...knowing that Harry never mastered Occlumency...Voldemort will never doubt Severus' loyalty, even though he's helping Harry to destroy the Dark Lord.[/b]

Hmmm, not sure. I'm not saying Snape was ever exactly evil but I think he was really bitter (from his childhood) and was angry with pretty much everyone when he was younger. I think he hated James and because Harry is so much like him, he has never seen a good side of Harry (just the negative). I do agree that a lot of his actions towards Harry are to distance himself from him to protect both himself and Harry but I don't think he is Harry's biggest fan.
I really like the idea of what you're saying but I do think it's a definate possibility that Dumbledore helped turn Snape around.
