whacked....thinking of Tony Soprano right now....

anyway, if what you mean by "whacked" is that the curse's outcome was
not favorable to the DADA teacher, well, Snape has been "whacked".  He
is now an outcast and untrustworthy to the wizarding community, due to
his part in Dumbledore's death (note, I don't say murder, because I
don't believe Snape murdered Dumbledore...30 days before we know for sure)

There is no justice in the DADA curse.  Why should there be?  It is a
curse, not a trial by law.  Lockhart, Lupin & the real Moody, despite
their flaws, did not deserve the effects of the curse.   Yeah, Yeah,
Lockhart is a prat, but to spend the rest of his life as a mental
patient?  And Umbridge - still a member of the wizarding community -
her only comeuppance was to deal with the Centuars.

The curse for Snape, IMHO, was that he was not to die; that he had to
fulfill the UV; that he had to release Dumbledore from the Horcrux
Ring curse that had plagued DD all year.

Justice?  Justice would be that Harry finally understands this and
doesn't view Snape thru that dark lens of his.

of course, in 30 days, I could be eating crow....I like my birds young
& tender, well-done with a nice wine sauce on the side.
