No, he did not. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,you find out that Snape really wasn't a whole Death Eater. He was, in fact, a double agent. Snape worked for Voldemort as well as was a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Snape loved Harry's mother from a very young age, and in order to protect Harry after his parents' death, he took up the position as Dumbledore's spy on the inside.

He died due to Voldemort's snake, Nagina, who fatally wounded him. Harry ended up respecting Snape when he found out the real reason Snape was so horrible to him- a) Unfortunately, Snape thought he looked (and acted) like James. b) If he pretended like he hated Harry, it would cause Voldemort to think he would help to kill him. He would protect Harry by pretending like he hated him. Voldemort wouldn't suspect anything. c) The most important one of all: Harry had his mother Lily's green eyes.

That's why he stopped.
