I do not think in any way, shape, or form that Snape is evil or bad. Despite the rather large amount of evidence against this theory at the end of HBP, I think Snape is ultimately good. I feel that due to the unbreakable vow he made with Narcissa he knew there would be no way of getting around the death of Albus Dumbledore. He made the unbreakable vow to keep his cover as a Death Eater and futher convince not only Voldemort, but also his fellow Death Eaters of his allegiance to the dark side.

I think that he killed Dumbledore according to both Dumbledore's own wishes and the vow he made. Dumbledore knew that his death could be the final impetus to cause Harry to defeat Voldemort in one final battle. Now that Dumbledore is dead, Harry will have to depend on only as himself and use the knowledge given him. Dumbledore's death will have an obvious effect on the wizarding world and now that Snape is the one that killed him, he could hold a very powerful position with Voldemort, which could potentially help Harry in the end. I think proof of Snape's true loyalties can be observed at the end of HBP. When Harry calls him a coward, Snape reacts immediately with so much hatred. He didn't want to kill Dumbledore... it probably took immense bravery and loyalty to perform such a task, which makes Snape the bravest of them all.

I also don't think that Dumbledore would be such a bad judge of character. He knew Snape's past, and wouldn't put his complete trust in him unless he knew that he could. Dumbledore is the kind of man that knows everything that goes on. There is something we are not being told about Snape, which I'm sure we will find out in the last book. While I must admit the pleading at the end threw me off, I believe this was all part of the act of Dumbledore.

I believe that sometime during the final book, Snape will reveal his true loyalties to the good side and ultimately help Harry win the battle against Voldemort. For some reason I have a feeling that Snape will play a rather crucial role in the death of Voldemort, maybe even sacrificing his own life for the greater good. It might be because he's one of my favorite characters, but I want to believe that he can overcome the obstacles and prove many, most definately Harry, wrong.

Well I could write so much more on Snape, but I'll stop here for now...
