No matter how many horcruxes Harry and his friends successfully destroyed, Voldemort was still a more powerful wizard than him, so when Harry arose from the dead to pick a final fight with the Dark Lord, he was handily overtaken by Voldemort. And his obvious contempt for Harry at Hogwarts was due to his similarity to his pseudo-bully dad James, but despite his distaste for those personality traits, he really was trying to protect Harry all the while, so he could fulfill his destiny to defeat the Dark Lord. The only reason he murdered Dumbledore was because the headmaster was already dying from wearing Marvolo's Gaunt Ring (with the Resurrection Stone), and he didn't want Draco to be forced to do it at Voldemort's demand. More importantly, he showed him how he'd always been looking out for "the boy" by feigning allegiance to the Dark Lord. Instead, Snape got a split-second to give him a teardrop full of memories, so that he could show him his gut-wrenching backstory of unrequited love of Harry's mum Lily. Harry, overhearing the attack, tried to rush in and help him after Voldemort apparated away, but it was too late. After being banished from the school by Professor McGonagall after Harry's return, he was killed by Voldemort's trusty sidekick snake Nigiri, so the Dark Lord could take true ownership of the Elder Wand (more on that later). Snape spent a long time - a lifetime, by the measure of Harry's existence - running subterfuge for Dumbledore, but his true loyalties were never quite clear until his final moments.
