== Analysis ==
It has been mentioned that the author is highly skilled at what is called the "set-up and pay-off" writing style. Here, we see a classic example. The preceding six books have created a long set-up, from as far back as the first novel when Snape was introduced, and on through the entire series as the conflict within Snape is repeatedly shown. While readers accept Harry's belief in Snape's untrustworthiness, evidence shows that Snape was protecting Harry since [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 11|the first book]]. Here, we have the pay-off: it is revealed that Snape has been among Harry's staunchest protectors, despite his hating Harry's father, because he made a promise
The inner conflicts churning within Snape have helped make him an intriguing character. His love for Lily never faded throughout the years, and, unknown to Harry, that is why Snape always protected him. Snape's seeming malice towards Harry actually resulted from Snape's lingering hatred and resentment towards James Potter; Harry was merely an unfortunate reminder. As Snape was about to die, he asked to gaze into Harry's eyes, presumably because they looked just like Lily's, something Harry has been repeatedly reminded of.
We additionally learn why Petunia hated Lily and, by extension, Lily's son Harry. Because
There are many other revelations, large and small
Snape's memories show something else unexpected. Previously, Harry had seen [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 28|the memory after the Defence Against the Dark Arts O.W.L. test]] in a chapter called "Snape's Worst Memory." Considering the extreme humiliation Snape suffers at James Potter's hands, that would seem sufficient reason for it being his "worst memory." However, knowing Snape's strong feelings for Lily, the memory acquires a different meaning: it is the worst because one word spoken in it forever ended his friendship with Lily Evans, who later married James Potter and gave birth to Harry.
While the reason is never explicitly given, it is clear that when Dumbledore, watching the students return from the Yule Ball, remarks that perhaps the students are Sorted too soon, Snape is shocked at the thought that his true place at Hogwarts as a boy, and his entire later life, could have been different had the Sorting been delayed until he better understood his own desires.

The following conversation, in Dumbledore's office, contains one element which should be instantly clear but is never explained. Explaining the reason for his actions, Snape summons his Patronus, a silver doe, the same silver doe that led Harry to the Sword of Gryffindor in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 19|the Forest of Dean]]. Dumbledore, knowing that life circumstances can alter a Patronus' shape, immediately recognizes the connection to Lily Potter. Snape and James likely learned the Patronus charm at the same time; James, who at that stage in his life, had the strong relation to the stag that would result in his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Animagus|Animagus]] form being one, likely would also have then manifested a stag Patronus. We never discover what Lily's Patronus was, though as James had such powerful associations with the stag, it is possible that Lily's Patronus, following form, was a doe. This is not necessarily true, however; it is equally possible that, no matter what Lily's Patronus was, Snape perceived her as a doe, mated to the stag that was James, and his Patronus reflected that perception. The Patronus being such advanced magic, it is also likely that James and Lily would be a couple by the time James and Snape learned it, and Snape learned of James' Patronus form. Dumbledore's question, "After all this time?", is asking if Snape was still in love with Lily.
It is interesting to note that the only thing Dumbledore required Snape to do was, when Voldemort started protecting Nagini, keeping her at his side, that he should then tell Harry about
