I think Snape's liminality would have enabled him to contain the contradiction that you mention. Very likely that by the time he was choosing what music to listen to he was very much detached from his muggle background in a way that enabled him to ignore the particular cultural reference and enjoyed the anger and feel justified in his own.
See, I think Snape would resent Morrissey for whining too much, on the grounds his own list of grievances is easily as long and much more real, but he never gets to express them because nobody bloody listens. When Morrissey says things he agrees with, he gets very bitter about it. Snape is not obliged to be rational. ;)
