Snape was only redeemed because he was in love with a Gryffindor! That's the only way to get redeemed for being sorted into Slytherin, because lurve conquers all!
And honestly, I dunno whether or not I'd say he got redeemed. All I could see is that apparently he didn't give a shit as to what happened to any of the muggleborns or the half-bloods - he was only against Voldemort because he offed poor Lily, and he apparently only helped Harry because of her memory, not because it was the good thing to do.
Totally stripping Snape of layers and layers and making him somewhat....blah. Somehow I feel if it had been evident from the beginning no one would have cared for Snape at all, even with him being played by Rickman.
I keep looking for some good fanfic that goes AU somewhere after OotP, but it seems like everyone wants to do EWE or canon compliant, and it disappoints me so much.
