An (interesting ?) parallel

First of all, the usual disclaimer: I believe JKR
wrote Dumbledore's death scene very carefully,
choosing every word to allow an ambiguous
interpretation. 

I can only discuss Snape under the conditional
probability that he is still a Dumbledore man.
(Otherwise he is not a character worth arguing about,
he goes straight to the last circle of Hell).

The interesting thing for me is that many people here
argue that even if in book 6 he was acting upon some
plan of Dumbledore, he is still evil beyond redemption
and forgiveness, because he'd delivered Potters to
Voldemort.
That's the point I'd like to discuss, and that's the
point which has a possible parallel in "Chronicles of
Narnia". In there, Edmund delivers his own sisters and
brother to the White Witch. Who wants to kill them
because of a prophecy saying they can defeat her.
Not some anonymous people, not his childhood enemy,
his own brother and sisters.
If we judge him by the same moral law people here seem
to judge Snape, then Aslan should've killed the little
bastard on the spot, never mind dying for him.
