Don't misunderstand, please; I don't *want* to send him to the great
cauldron in the sky, it's that I don't think he's  going to be allowed  to
decline into a miserable old age. No-one would cheer more than I if
he survived to make Harry's life sheer hell for the next 50 years or so,
complaining about declining standards, the impetuosity of youth and
how 'things were different when he were a lad'. I'm well on the way to
achieving such distinction myself and a great deal of satisfaction is
derived from winding people up, let me tell you.

Gloating is good. That annoys people  too, but with Snape too many 
would remember his past and suspect his actions. Let him come back
as a ghost, a new mentor for Hogwarts pupils. Then he could gloat
forever more. Never did like that Sir Nick, too pleasant by half.
