Great analysis! Your essays are always a pleasure to read. :)
The bathroom scene was one of my favourites. The incantation that sounded almost like song did strike me as uncharacteristic for Snape and I loved it just for that - loved seeing this other side of Snape. Like the side of Snape we saw in Chapter 2.
Speaking of Chapter 2 and since you mentioned the Unbreakable Vow, I think Snape must have known what he was getting himself into. He doesn't strike me as someone who would consent to commit to something without knowing what it was about.
And I just need to say this: I always loved Snape but now I love him more than ever!
