I don't think one needs to condemn another in order to achieve one's 
own redemption. If Peter save Harry, it will be enough evidence for me 
to recognize his redemption. In fact, I think if Peter turned good, he 
should be one who's more forgiving to Snape's betrayal (if it is a real 
betrayal) because Peter has experienced first hand the fear of life 
that caused him to do horrible things.
