I'm assuming your 'wat' is for Snape as the bowstring - breaking it down:
1st yr) Harry & co are convinced he's the one after the Philosopher's Stone, they end up in harm's way to save it from him
2nd yr) not actually involved save in continuing the general pressure of his antagonism directly and as encouragement for Draco & co.
3rd yr) foils the plan to get Peter captured and Sirius exonerated, and potentially able to warp the arrow
4th yr) back to general harassment
5th yr) mental torture in the name of occlumency lessons, which by all description were counterproductive if anything. Also took a long damn while to get a message to anyone else about the expedition to the Ministry - knocking Harry's fathwer off the pedestal in his mind might or might not really count as something more than his normal petty hostility
6th yr) took part in Albus's staged death scene, and between taunting and the spell selection in his duel while fleeing afterward ensured that Harry would fight the death eaters to get at him as much as Voldy
7th yr) kept things as calm as possible at Hogwarts, delivered the sword to the Trio, served up a set of memories as he died to wipe out any sense of satisfaction at being done with one of his enemies and focus Potter sharply on the remaining one, namely Voldemort, and thinking of his parents and the possibiliy of finally meeting with them when he went to be killed as insurance against chickening out - after all, as long as the horcruxes were destroyed anyone could kill Tom, and there was even a second candidate to dill the prophesy by doing so in Neville.
Note that I'm not saying that impelling Harry & co was neccesarily Snape's motivation, nor that he aggreed with the position - if anything, he's even more a victim of Albus-as-the-archer than Harry & freinds.
It's not as strong as the rest, but that's why it was an afterthought, I suppose.
