I thinkit would be nice to see Severus Snape defying Voldie because he, Severus, sees Voldie as a bad guy in and of himself and not need the approval of Dumbledore ( which, by the way, he does have- he has his job and position of authority).
Another thing- about age: Severus is about what, 38? There is a time is a man's (or womans) life when they start to cut away from there their parental figures, and it happens at weird times- either in the early 20's or their late 30s. And JKR is incredibly perceptive in showing this strain. Severus can fight Voldie because DEs are Teh Suckeh. But he does not need to have blind obedience to Dumbledore- not anymore.
