He was a spy for the Light side. He wanted to protect Harry's mother Lily from Voldemort because he was in love with her. When Voldemort killed Lily, he swore to Dumbledore that he would protect Harry. Dumbledore and Snape later realized that Harry had to die in order to kill Voldemort, because a piece of Voldemort was inside Harry. Voldemort had to be the one who killed Harry. Snape had to conceal this fact from everyone, especially Voldemort so that when Voldemort killed Harry, he would weaken himself without knowing it. Because of his love for Lily, Snape was able to conceal this information right up to his death.
