You are right, although I don't see Snape as someone who needs to be 
defeated.  That would be postulating an ESE!Snape, which I have 
always agreed is not in the cards (Grey!Snape being my favored 
option, with a nod to OFH!Snape).

Saved, redeemed, and restored?  Hmmm.  Well, restored would be 
tricky, imo, although not impossible.  The main argument against it 
would be, I suppose, that Snape's whole character is so totally 
oriented toward the past that there would simply be no place for him 
in the post-Voldemort universe.

Saved and redeemed?  Also tricky, as it would involve, imo, redeeming 
a child abuser without tacitly expressing approval of his actions and 
behavior.  Not an easy thing to do.

<Shrug>  We will see, I suppose.
