I'm somewhat inclind to agree with Antonia here. 'Forgive'
is a pretty strong word, and I don't think Harry or the 
Wizard World will ever forgive Snape for killing Dumbledore,
but I suspect they will come to understand the choice he 
made, and with that understanding will come a degree of 
lenience.

I think once Snape and Harry reconcile, Harry will have
a degree of sympathy and understanding for Snape's 
predicament, but only a degree. Hopefully it will be
enough to allow him to accept Snape's help when it is
offerred.

However, if Snape lives, I don't see him getting off
scott free. He did what he did, and I feel he must pay
a price for it, probably Azkaban, but I think that
price will be tempered and moderated with some 
understanding.

Just a thought.
