Well, for reasons I personally don't understand, JKR seems to think
the Trio are much more interesting than the adult characters.  Weird,
but there you go.  So I'm afraid that most of the adult characters
are expendable as far as she's concerned, and that includes Snape.

I agree that Snape doing something heroic and saving the ungrateful
little prat - er, the Boy Who Lived - would be a fitting end.  I just
don't see Snape surviving the war.
