Sandy here:
this is just for fun, since I'd bet all the galleons in my kid's 
college fund that it won't happen (or at least JKR won't write it), 
but here's my hope for Snape. (I think many on the list would be ever-
so-pleased with at least parts of it):
At the end of VWII, no longer needing to maintain his cover as a spy, 
Sev is able to resign his tenured position at Hogwarts, give up the 
teaching he's never been well suited for, and take a job doing what 
he always wanted to do, potions research. And, drawing on a 
traumitizing incident from  his youth, he dedicates his formidable 
talents to finding a permanent cure for those unfortunate wizards 
afflicted by the bite of a werewolf.
