Alla:

That's a possibility. Or the main surprise already happened ( Snape 
killing DD) and in the second part the consequences of such surprise 
would be dealt with among other things.

But I wonder why you say that there is always a reversal. Where do you 
see a reversal at the end of OOP for example. What turned out to be 
not what it seemed?

I mean, we knew that Umbridge is a bastard, we knew that most likely 
visions were untrue, we knew that DD had his reasons to stay away from 
Harry, even if Harry did not.

What kind of reversal occurred at the end of OOP? Because I did not 
see any, unless we are defining reversal very differently.

So, yeah, IMO reversal is possible, but always? I don't think so. IMO 
of course.

What I am trying to say is that it MAY happened, but I strongly doubt 
that it HAS TO happen.

Alla, who agrees on that part, unfortunately, but who thinks of very 
different Snape redemption - as in him deeply regretting "killing 
Dumbledore" and trying to make Harry see it - that he, Snape regrets 
what he did.
