I can think of loads of great authors who introduced difficult moral 
problems and did not demonstrate any attempt to "deal" with them. 
Dickens and David Copperfield come to mind right off the bat. Snape and 
Harry will have some kind of interchange, I hope and pray, but it will 
not be to redress great moral issues and I just can not see anyone else 
doing it either. If there is a world left at the end of Book 7, the 
survivors will have to put so many things behind them, bigger I would 
imagine than Snape's treatment of Harry.
