For many characters, that's true. But neither Snape nor Dumbledore is
peripheral. or there would be no need for the "Prince's Tale" and
"King's Cross" chapters. I generally prefer to cite canon rather than
interviews to prove my points, but, in this instance, JKR's opinion
matters:

Lynda:
But both Dumbledore's and Snape's stories were told and brought to their
conclusions! Could there have been more. Yes. Did there need to be? No.
Especially not in a series of books as long as the HP series. Now, if JKR
ever chooses to write about either Snape or Dumbledore in other books, I'll
be more than happy to read them.
