Severus might be a “grey” character, but he was indeed one of the most selfless of all, not just for Lily. He bartered and argued and begged his way around to save multiple people from the death eaters and voldemort himself. If Snape kills Dumbledore, Voldemort would have him killed simply to be 100 sure the Wand works for him properly. He agreed to be a double agent whilst facing the darkest wizard of all time. Severus was indeed misguided as Draco was, and fell in with the wrong group and side in his younger years, but he ultimately chose to risk his own life by begging Dumbledore to save Lily and her family. Whether others want to admit it or not, Severus was abused by his own parents and in school as well- James and his gang made his life utter hell for years, and he bottled it all up until he finally snapped and called his best friend a mudblood, which honestly I can’t blame him for- If my best friend/crush was flirting around with my abuser and bully I would be sick. He knew he would be hated forever, he knew Dumbledore wouldn’t tell anyone else of the plan to kill him, he knew that this was ultimately necessary to save not only Draco from being a misguided murderer of a child’s age, but to fulfill the prophecy and save millions of others in the end. This is what so many people don’t realize and what redeems Severus as such a selfless character.
