He could go the Severus Snape route-- renounce the Death Eaters, but retain his
unpleasant personality. ;)

In fact, if he does "switch sides," I think this is his only way to avoid mortal
clichedom. Regardless of whether or not he dies.

Though I rather like jenny's idea of him ending up in St. Mungo's. <wicked
