Severus lives!

I noticed several things that make me believe that Snape somehow didn't 
really die.

No headmasters painting of him.

He never appeared as any of the dead people Harry saw while unconscious.

His line early on, in the first book about 'stoppering death'.

If his body disappeared, the good guys would assume the DEs took care of 
it and the DEs prob wouldn't care since he wasn't close to any of them 
anyways.  Snape had no family to claim it, so if it was still laying 
around, Harry or SOMEONE would have taken responsibility for his 
funeral. Though its likely noone would have even bothered to look for 
his body.. what with 50 other dead people to deal with.

The light going out in his eyes could have been a coma he slipped into 
as potions he took before meeting with Voldemort took effect.  He is a 
brilliant potions master and could have prepared something ahead of 
time, knowing that Voldemort was keeping Nagini close and the end was 
near, he would have prepared for it.

He has no good reason to stick around.  Thick headed people in the 
wizard world would never trust him on just the good word of even Harry 
Potter and a few pensive memories.  He would have preferred to go and 
start a new life somewhere else, slipping away as only he can.  Faking 
his own death and moving on seems more his style then being killed by 
some bloated snake...

The idea he would WANT to die to join Lilly is foolish.. James already 
has her even in the afterlife, so there is no peace for him there.
