Well, frankly, I am glad snape was redeemed "badly", as i couldn't have stood anymore of his presence than we already have :/
On the other hand, iagree with all your points, and will go even further in saying that his brave actions were mostly motivated by obssession and pride, and, for me, that annul the brave part of it.
What i really hated was that it was the fact that harry did not try to survive that made him so brave. If he had died, wouldn't that have made Vodlemort invincible? After all, the prophecy was something harry really believed in. So if he truly went expecting to die, without even trying to off nagini *or* finding another way, it would have made him a coward. Plus, i find that "suicide" is something that would weaken any type of magic, for the sole reason it's both cowardly (low power of determination) and against the usually acknowledged respect of life.
