Jen responds:
I think, plot-wise, that JKR is offering something more complicated 
than the obvious good (HP) verses evil (LV) - Snape hangs in the 
balance, he could go either way (in the reader's eyes.)  In the end, he 
is the big question, he has the decision to make.  While the triumph of 
the good guy over evil guy makes for a satisfying resolution, I believe 
it is the individual internal good/evil struggle that is most 
compelling.
