One of the saddest parts for me was when Snape wanted Harry to look at him when he was dying. He wanted to see Lily’s eyes one last time was the way I saw it...like he didn’t believe he would be going on to the same place that Lily did.

Interesting take.
I thought when he said "Look...at...me" he was imploring Harry to "see the real me" when he put his thoughts into the pensieve.

So sad to see Snape go, but so glad to know the truth about him.
Great complex character.

Alan Rickman plays him so well.

“I thought when he said “Look...at...me” he was imploring Harry to “see the real me” when he put his thoughts into the pensieve.”

I pondered that for awhile too, considering his “don’t call me a coward” rant from the previous book, but then I decided that he knew that Harry would know the truth from his thoughts, and he just wanted to see those green eyes one last time.

And Alan Rickman has my vote for best actor in the movies as well as Snape for the most interesting character in the books! :)

That is what I thought, too.
