Alla: Snape has his good qualities, so I most certainly do NOT want 
him behind bars, but to me he crossed the line where he should not 
be teaching Harry or Neville LONG time ago.

Alla:

I don't think ANY of Snape bashers will argue that Snape is in the 
same league as Umbridge. Umbrdige is physical and emotional sadist 
to her students.

Snape also exhibits milder degree of sadism, but only emotional one 
(Thanks, Nora).

That is what I have been saying all along. Please, JKR let Snape 
survive the war and send him to some research institute FAR FAR away 
from Hogwarts.

Again, let me stress, I don't want Snape to abandon teaching before 
story ends, because he is VERY colourful character.
