Of course, Bellatrix and Snape were easily his favorites, but the Carrow siblings were up there as well. There are many instances that prove that Voldemort appreciated Amycus and Alecto Carrow. First and foremost, he selected them to accompany Draco on his mission to take out Dumbledore in The Half-Blood Prince.
He doesn't trust Snape as Dumbledore does, but he believes that he can detect any disloyalty. Moreover, Voldemort regards Snape as highly intelligent and therefore ' as a true Slytherin ' a person whose top priority is to take care of himself. To his twisted mind, selfless equals stupid.
As far as Voldemort knew, Snape was his most loyal, most powerful, and most useful servant.
He was likely loyal until Lily was in danger - he'd willingly joined. We don't know much about Snape during the time when he was actually a Death Eater working for the Dark Lord, not a double agent. However, we do know he liked Dark magic, and seemed to want to join the Death Eaters.
Voldemort's cold dispatching of Snape shows how he feels about Snape: he's a useful tool. Snape had great skill in the Dark Arts and in potions. He was a good enough duelist to get by. He was a good spy.
Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black) is the first female Death Eater introduced in the books. Aunt of Draco Malfoy and Nymphadora Tonks. She was introduced in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She is the most faithful member of Voldemort's inner circle.
A Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Snape is hostile to Harry due to his resemblance to his father James Potter, who bullied Snape during their time together at Hogwarts. As the series progresses, Snape's character becomes more layered and enigmatic.
Although Snape may not have projected his memory of James onto Harry, he still would have been predisposed to dislike him by virtue of him being James Potter's son. Harry being in Slytherin would not have changed this fact.
Later in the year, Dumbledore revealed that Harry was in fact a Horcrux, meaning that he would eventually have to die. Now, as firmly established, Snape was not the greatest fan of Harry, but that didn't mean that he ever stopped loving Lily. Dumbledore was surprised that Snape seemed to care for the boy.
He did not even wish he had chosen differently — he believed he had made the only reasonable choice. He felt what he said, regret. Because he had to kill his most useful servant. His other Death Eaters either fled or were imprisoned when Voldemort was 'half-dead'.
In The Deathly Hallows Part 2, Voldemort meets Snape at the Boathouse and tells him the Elder Wand doesn't seem to work properly for him. He concludes that, because Snape killed Dumbledore, the Elder Wand belongs to him. So, Voldemort had to kill Snape for the wand's allegiance to switch.
Most probably not. Snape's hatred of Harry came from having to see James's face every day and Lily's eyes behind his glasses. Harry would've been a constant reminder of the love Snape lost, and I believe it would've been more painful if he was in Slytherin because they'd have to see each other more.
For somebody who so clearly loathed Snape for his rather twisted thought, it seems unlikely that Dumbledore would have been very friendly with him afterward. They developed a mutual respect, that goes without saying.
Bellatrix didn't trust him. Nor did she like him. She likely acknowledged his magical ability, but nothing beyond that. Atop her list of grievances is the fact that he'd held a cushy job teaching at Hogwarts while she and other loyal Death Eaters wasted away in Azkaban, suffering for what they believed in.
The acclaimed author explained that Harry paid tribute to Snape because of "forgiveness and gratitude." Though Snape bullied Harry, he also saved him.

Snape Wouldn't Hate Her So Much
Harry reminded Snape of James, but if Harry had been a girl, he may have reminded Snape of Lily instead. Meaning Snape would have been a lot more eager to protect and help girl Harry throughout the series.
Horace Slughorn (1997 - present) Horace, after being convinced by Dumbledore and Harry Potter, returned to Hogwarts as the Potions master. After Severus killed Dumbledore and became headmaster of Hogwarts, it was decided that Horace was to become the Head of Slytherin House once again.
Professor Snape is dead on Voldemort's orders, and Harry saw it all. In his dying moments, he told Harry to take his memories and look at him one last time. Voldemort's voice then sounded through the corridors, challenging Harry to meet him in the Forbidden Forest in an hour. This is the end.
12. Snape's Last Words. In the [Deathly Hallows] book, Snape's dying words to Harry were "Look at me". Right then we did not realize the significance of his words but in the very next chapter when Harry goes through Snape's memories in the Pensieve, he comes to know how much Snape loved Lily.
