I apologise if I'm being thick.... but how hasn't Snape taken his
chance for redemption? He's apparently (allegedly) turned spy for the
good guys. I'd think that's a pretty big redeeming quality,
considering that Voldemort isn't the touchy-feely type who would view
betrayal as a minor bummer and let spies leave his circle with a
consolation prize. I think that, in the important ways, it appears he
/has/ achieved redemption. (Barring any startling revelations that
Snape is really truly evil - a premise that I don't buy.)

Or can redemption only come in the form of big hugs for the Golden Trio?

Unredeemable? I don't think so.
