Severus Snape attempted to get Harry Potter expelled from Hogwarts on several occasions. Snape wanted to punish Harry for James' actions towards Snape. Throughout the years, Snape bullied, embarrassed and punished Harry.

Yet, Snape also works with Dumbledore to protect Harry's life because he wanted to protect the son of Lily Potter.

He was headmaster of Hogwarts for a while, and doing his duty as Death Eater. He was never on Voldemort's side though, and was acting on Dumbledore's dying wish. Voldemort killed him by Nagini when he thought Snape was the owner of the Elder wand.

Yes.

Severus Snape loved Lily Evans since they were both young children. However, Lily didn't like death eaters and fell in love with James Potter. Snape overheard the prophecy, told Lord Voldemort and then discovered that Voldemort planned to kill Lily, James and Harry Potter. Snape went straight to Albus Dumbledore and told him who Voldemort planned to kill and requested that Dumbledore protect Lily (and eventually her family). Dumbledore said he would do so if Snape joined the Order of the Phoneix as a spy. When Lily and James were killed Dumbledore made Snape promise to look after Harry.

In Harry's first year Snape kept Harry on his broomstick when Quirrel was trying to knock him off. Snape has protected Harry, even though he hated him, throughout his years at Hogwarts.

Even during the search for the horcruxes Snape helped. After discovering their location he gave them the real Sword of Gryffindor and he gave Harry his memories as he was dying which informed Harry that he needed to die (or at least be hit by the killing curse) before Voldemort could.

Snape protected Harry while he was at Hogwarts because Snape was in love with Harry's mother Lily, and protecting Harry was as close as he could get to her. One of the most helpful things Snape did for Harry was lead him to the sword of Gryffindor in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

It could be perceived that Snape betrayed Harry in two ways. One he killed Dumbledore, however we later learn that this was part of a deal Snape made with Dumbledore. Two Snape knew Harry was a horcrux and that to kill Voldemort Harry had to die.

Severus Snape pretended to be a Death Eater spying for the Order of the Phoenix. In actual fact, he was a Order member, pretending to be a Death Eater spying on the Order. This allowed him access to vital information that would help the various people around Harry keep him protected.

He was also the only reason Harry managed to stay on his broom when Quirrel was trying to curse him off it. Snape also gave Harry Godric Gryffindor's sword to help him destroy the Horcruxes.
