I couldn't agree more, I suspect Harry's actions 
at the end of HBP where he gets creative with Snape's
relationship with Dumbledore comes down to guilt.
Deep down Harry realizes that he was responsible
for Dumbledore's weakened state, even though DD
demanded obedience in the cave.

Wynnleaf, I agree - I seriously doubt that Harry's
enlightenment will come from Snape sacrificing himself.
I assume enlightenment will come gradually, probably
through Hagrid whom I suspect knows Snape (and Eileen)
VERY well. (I'm taking bets that Eileen gave Hagrid
that flowery pink umbrella! lol)
