Meidbh:
Snape dying to protect Harry is just waaay to nice and neat. 
Remember JKR is the woman who brought you the death of Sirius. The 
end will not be neat and simple and lets hope it won't be 
predictable.

Because Snape may never be happy doesn't mean he won't live (most 
schools have at least one ageing teacher who hates their job!). 

I have an image of the final scene of the final book where many of 
the good and well loved characters have been lost in the battle to 
defeat the Dark Lord. Snape however is one of the ones left to 
rebuild and with an inscrutable glance at the camera turns around to 
teach a new class of first years "There will be no foolish 
wandwaving here..."

Gosh - he could even be headmaster of Hogwarts?
