So Snape goes into the tunnel and is killed by Remus Lupin.

Let's say for the sake of argument that a Snapeless world would be a
better place and that getting rid of Snape in and of itself is an
acceptable goal.

But what was he going to say to Lupin when he resumed human form? 
"Hey, good going, you really mauled him!"  What kind of a friend sets
up another friend to become a murderer when he's in no condition to
stop himself?

I'll start GoF on the weekend but I'd better see some way impressive
stuff from Mr. Black before I change my opinion.
