Aww, I don't think Lupin was an asshole. I think he tried to distance himself from Tonks and the baby so that they wouldn't be as stigmatised by his condition, however misguided this might have been. And he does go back to them, and he does die for them.
I think with Snape's death, that she couldn't just have Voldemort AK him, because he needed to see Harry and give him the memories, so.... she attacked him with a giant snake. Huh.
I'm not really sure what to think about all the Greater Good stuff, really. I think it's important that Dumbledore wasn't perfect, and that he knows he was stupid and arrogant and the rest of it, and he spent the rest of his life making up for it. But, at the same time, a lot of that stuff was uncomfortable to read.
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, that must suck after waiting so long. :( I'm like a child about it, I'll probably find stuff that I don't like later on but for now I'm just "Aaaah! Harry Potter!"
