LOL!  And since when does mere consistency have anything to do with 
what happens in the Potterverse?!  Although in this case, I suppose 
there is plenty of precedent either way (i.e. Snape bests Harry after 
the Tower, but Harry sends Snape reeling in DADA class).  Also, I 
suppose there is a case to be made that group action (i.e. all of 
them ringing Snape at wandpoint) is precisely Harry's strength and 
Voldy's weakness, as well as Snape's weakness.

Snape having one last moment to inflict abuse on Harry would be 
utterly morally contemptible, but might well happen.  Of course Harry 
having a moment to abuse Snape would be believable as well.  Neville 
handing Bellatrix over to the Aurors would be silly and unbelievable, 
and a complete mirror of Harry's single greatest mistake -- not 
letting Sirius and Remus kill Wormtail, thus avoiding this whole 
mess.  But I could see that happening as well.
