Alla:

Does Snape also deserves a credit to contributing to the fact that 
Harry **only** had fifteen months with his mom and dad?

Or he only should be acknowledged for having felt remorse (which if  
I may  remind you we  **never** heard from Snape mouth yet, not once, 
but okay, let's say he did indeed felt it )?

I keep telling herself that Harry forgiving Snape is inevitable in 
order not to be too disappointed in the ending, but I am still hoping 
that would be something of "I forgive you, but I never forget what 
you did), NOT something of "let's pretend it never happened" And of 
course forgiveness to me implies guilt.

JMO,
