This is why I can't really get into Snape/Draco fic. Snape, flawed though he is (and he certainly is, but so is everyone else in the story in their own way), is the closest thing Draco has to a caring male figure. Everyone else judges him except Snape. And in HBP, Snape has his own issues, and so he's not likely to be all happycamper with Draco. But I don't think Snape could ever hate Draco. And now with this Vow, he's even more his Protector than ever.
