Sue here:

I suspect he realised quite early that he might have bitten off 
more than he could chew. Don't forget, he was crying in Moaning 
Myrtle's bathroom for some time. I think, whatever happens, that 
he will be  redeemed - he may not survive, but he won't go down 
snarling and sneering! It was pretty clear, from that scene on the 
roof, that he might just have let Dumbledore coax him back to the 
light if he'd had just a little longer, so - why *not* go into it in Book 
7? :-)
