Redemption of Anakin and other redemption stories (moved from Main)

Carol signed off:
> > Carol, who thinks that Snape's redemption would have been  unrealistic if it involved a complete personality change like Scrooge's and is sure that he's earned peace and happiness in the afterlife, whether it's a Christian Heaven or not
 
> Oh, Carol, then you would have liked a picture I saw on one of the Russian HP sites: Harry talks to little Albus Severus on the platform nine and three quarters, and next to them stands Snape with big black wings on his back. I suppose it's a hint that Snape became little Al's guardian angel, LOL.

Carol responds:
Black wings, huh? I'd have liked green and silver better, but I guess they wouldn't seem Snapelike. If you run across the picture again, please send me the link offlist. I'd like to see it--even though I envision Snape and all the other dead characters staying put in the afterlife unless someone makes another Resurrection Stone.

Carol, who wishes peace and happiness to the three "good" Marauders and Lily as well as Snape but isn't sure what to wish for "Wormy" (other than oblivion)
