You have a point that she did convince *us* that he was good. But that's not my problem with the text. When I mean I don't find the issue of Severus' redemption clearly resolved in the text, I don't mean did she convince her readers he was good. I mean, did she convey that within the structure of the narrative arc and within the fictional world she created, was he *redeemed.* Was his goodness *acknowledged.* It's entirely possible to create a literary work where a character is presented *to the readers* as good, but whom the narrative voice disdains. Done deliberately this can very very effective.
