va32h here:

Surely the honor of naming a child for Fred should fall to his twin, 
George, first. For all we know, Bill, Charlie, and George all have 
sons with first or middle names of Fred. 

Fred has many brothers to honor him, whereas Harry has no siblings 
who can pass on the family names, and surely Snape has virtually no 
one, save Harry, who truly appreciates what he did with his life.

It isn't Harry's responsibility to make sure that everyone who died 
in the wizarding war is remembered in his mere three children, or 
else they would all have names like:

Albus Severus Alastair Dobby Fred Remus or Lily Hedwig Nymphadora 
Lavendar - and that would just be silly.
