Pippin:
No, he just has to go and get himself killed without even a reminder of the person he is doing it for. Harry would understand. Harry was not the rightful owner of the resurrection stone, either. Dumbledore stole it. 

Alla:
 but at least Mundungus does not claim that Sirius loved him or something.

Pippin:
Lily was Snape's best friend -- she did love him, once.  I'd be interested in a response to my point that Snape had no reason to think that Harry was ever going to get the letter. He might not even have known that Harry had found the rest of the letter at GP. 

 We don't know what happened to the house once the DE's got inside, do we? For all we know they trashed it completely. Or maybe Bella moved in for a while. I doubt she'd have been very careful of her dear cousin's legacy. She wouldn't want anything that a mudblood had touched, much less written. 

I suppose the last page of the letter and the photo of Lily remained where Snape put them, in the pocket of his robes. If Harry wanted them so much he would know where they are. But I would think he let them be buried with Snape. He was not so obsessed with his mother that no one else was allowed to love her. And he, unlike Snape, had a whole album with pictures of Lily in it, and the memory of her love in his very skin.
