We've been set up and set up to mistrust Snape only to have him turn 
out to be doing something legitimate at the end. On the micro level, 
it would be consistent to lull the reader into assuming that Snape's 
actions--specifically malicious as they might be--are motivated by 
a 'goodness' that will be later revealed then pull that carpet out. 
On the other hand, if you zoom out further, it doesn't seem 
unreasonable that that's just too obvious. All the anti-Snape people 
would just shrug and say "see?" and that certainly isn't any fun. Any 
role Snape has in the ultimate downfall of any of our heroes would 
certainly be more elaborate than a "told you so" engendering sleight 
of plot. (At least, I hope so.)

Hi...i havent posted here in about a year...but here it goes..

I think Snape WILL die.  How can he not?  He used to be on 
Voldemort's side, but now he is pretty loyal, from what i can tell, 
to Dumbledore.  One of two things (i think) is going to happen with 
Snape #1 he is goig to turn his loyalty back to Voldemort, and maybe 
then he WILL live.  or #2 he will stick wth Dumbledore, but that will 
piss off Voldemort for sure.  I believe (dont have my books with me) 
in GOF Voldemort said those who havent returned to him will pay...

so i think snape will die eventually...which is a shame, i do like 
his character.
