I suspect I should just buy your book rather than obliging you to restate its arguments in my comments.
I know a lot of people loathe Cursed Child, but I was deeply unsurprised to find that Snape is unambiguously celebrated as a hero in that one. I think the Snape portion of that story is one fulfillment of the fantasy of somehow letting the dead know that they are posthumously appreciated.
I haven't read Cursed Child, but I am both glad and interested to hear that. It tells me how much Rowling herself was haunted by all those alternate impossibilities.
