Snape is *not* a triple agent. First, for that to be true, Dumbledore needs to be a moron. And then there's the entire scene outside Hagrid's hut - the deflecting of curses, the extreme reaction to being called a coward, and "Blocked again and again and again until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed." Snape just up and offered Harry exactly what he needed to know. Oh, Snape's still a petty bastard who carries around too much anger over his teen years, but he's paid for it, and will continue to do so. He paid most monumentally at 595.
