Alla:

Actually, even though I do hope that LL is right in a sense that 
Snape's character is past oriented, I think that you can be right in 
a sense that Snape is the character who got the reprieve, because of 
his popularity with the fans.

So, hope as I am that Snape is dead or live forever in Azkaban at 
the end of book 7, I think it is possible that he will survive and 
do something at the end, if he is DD!M.

But I am keeping my fingers crossed that JKR will not make him a 
Headmaster. To subject next generations of Gryffindors to this 
bastard, sigh, I hope JKR will not do that. Sorry.

I am hoping that JKR will not go for symbolism of the murderer of 
the most beloved Headmaster succeeding him. 

JMO,

Alla, who will have a box of tissues as well on July 21, but who 
will consider those tissues too precious to spend one of them on 
Snape. :)
