Frankly, I don't believe Snape will turn out to be ESE!Snape, because 
it would be such a comedown it would really amount to bad writing. JKR 
has devoted an enormous amount of time and energy turning Snape into a 
person we feel sorry for and care about. To shoot her readers down by 
having Snape turn out to be the consumate villain after all would be 
just too disappointing. I can see her killing him off, though I 
profoundly hope she won't; if she does, I think it will be either in 
battle at Harry's side against Voldemort, or sacrificing himself in 
some way to make Harry's victory over Voldemort possible.
