Alla:

I confess - I do like emotional catharsis for Snape in fanfiction. :) 
The believable one, mind you.

But I do realise that it is unlikely to happen in canon, so yeah, 
subtle change it is (I'll take what I can get)

Oh, absolutely. It makes for dramatic tension and fun storytelling, 
but honestly, after OOP I am at the point where I had enough of the 
feud even if as fun storytelling. IMO, it turned very ugly, it made 
Snape's character look static.

If I had one dissapointment in OOP, it would be the fact that their 
relationship did not become better (not hugging, but just mutual 
cooperation).

I was hoping that after GoF it will happen, but on the other hand, I 
realise that it is too early in the series, I do.
