But he wasn't going to forgo vengeance on Pettigrew, Pippin, he was 
going to send him to Azkaban.  That's hardly forgoing vengeance, or 
justice as the case may be.  Now, it's true he believed that there 
are certain places you shouldn't go for justice/vengeance, and I'm 
sure that he still believes that.  Which is probably going to be a 
big deal for him as he wrestles with having to kill Pettigrew.

It would be an enormous disappointment for me if he did not put Snape 
in his place in some appropriate fashion.  That doesn't mean I think 
he should kill Snape.  But just as he was ready to appropriately 
punish Pettigrew by sending him to Azkaban, I expect him to 
appropriately punish Snape for his behavior.  Public humiliation 
would probably be best.
