I sort of read the death of Snape as an easy way out of a plot knot.
The man had been the key instrument to Harry's fate and success, but in
such a way that he never could and would be honored for it. Harry's
revelation to Voldemort that Snape had always been Dumbledore's man,
would have made little impact as soon as the dust settled down and
Snape would always been seen as the murderer of the greatest wizard in
ages. And as most likely not all the admirers of Voldemort disappeared
into Azkaban - not all were Death Eaters and guilty of crimes - he also
remained at risk as treated of as traitor of the Dark Lord.

Killing him off was a more easy solution then giving him a future as
the most despised wizard in history.

He deserved better.
