More or less. He held a BIG grudge against James, but then saved Harry for Lily, so 50/50, though I voted yes.
definitely <3 i know that his backstory doesn't fully justify his cruelness towards harry in the first six books, but he's an incredibly brave and selfless character as well, if you can get past that.
That would depend on whether you're talking about Book Snape or Movie Snape.
Movie Snape was a scary, strict person who often sassed his students sometimes but he also cared enough about them to put his own life in danger to save their lives, he did love Lily and saved Harry's life several times for her, his past as a Death Eater is toned down but he does show remorse and redeems himself. So if we're talking about Movie Snape, yes.
Book Snape was a cruel, sadistic, racist, irredeemable psychopath who bullied his students and put their lives in danger for his own satisfaction, and he never loved Lily but he was lustfully obsessed with her and objectified her 24/7 (he only took interest in her for her green eyes), he makes Harry, Neville and Hermione's lives a living hell the most with Hermione practically being his favorite target, he puts Hermione's life in danger multiple times and abuses her every chance he gets, he brutally bullies Neville and tries to kill his toad, he insults Ron and makes him a slave for Malfoy after Malfoy himself fakes his injury, and he only ever protects Harry ONCE and even then it's for a selfish reason (when Bellatrix curses him and Snape tells her Harry belongs to the Dark Lord), and overall he has no remorse for his crimes. Oh, I can't forget him physically assaulting Narcissa and shoving a drink in her mouth just to shut her up when she is rightfully worried about her son. So definitely a hell no answer.
Most people consider the Books more Canon than the Movies, so I'll vote no.
