Brilliant stuff!
You forgot one, though: in PoA Cedric Diggory caught the Snitch and won the game, instead of forfeiting to Harry as he should have done. This sort of self-aggrandizing, inconsiderate behaviour is just asking for a horrid premature death in the next book, wouldn't you agree?
Now we come to JKR’s final indictment of Snape. Unlike James and Lily in Godric’s Hollow and Harry in the Forest, when Voldemort attacked him, Snape raised his wand in self-defense.
Because there was no-one around to blast Voldemort for him.
Clearly, it was his own fault because he was operating by himself - and if anyone argues that Snape IS the logical culmination of the series' "scapegoat" philosophy, the loading of collective guilt onto a single individual who is then sent off to suffer in isolation whilst everyone else keeps their hands clean, well, you're just JEALOUS because Harry's so cool. So there.
