snape was DEFINITELY lying in the beginning... it was far too carefully written to be otherwise. However, don't forget that snape had the chance to die, rather than kill dumbledore. let's not be too nice to him here--at the very least he is, like harry said, a horrible coward; even if he wasn't evil through and through, he did have choice. That's something an author can write quite easily, and she didn't. One can only hope that he will now be instrumental in bringing down voldemort.
