Potioncat:
If JKR was trying to please "this" Snape lover, she would have found 
some other way to knock off DD. Oh, let's say one of the DE's fires 
an AK just as Snape shows up, seconds too late, and Snape then grabs 
Draco and leads the baddies out of Hogwarts. 

Of course, we'd have to calculate how long it took him to get there 
and discuss whether he lingered a bit too long...<g>

Keep in mind, with the plot the way it is, Harry may still defeat 
Snape and LV. Snape is not yet guaranteed to be saved, redeemed or 
restored. Of course, saved, redeemed, restored would please many of 
us. 

So, yes, I'd agree the plot required the actions, and JKR set them up 
for that reason.

Snape got to come in and save the day earlier in the book. The 
results were that Draco who seemed so grown up in the beginning of 
the book, became a child again. Based on the many posts I've read, 
most seem to view Harry as the young man ready to out and be the hero 
while most see Draco as the boy Snape dragged off the tower. .
