Snape strikes me as a sort of a Ron situation. He's a character who has narrative weight because of cannon, but a comparatively small part in HMPMOR. That said, this was a fine sendoff.

I think Snape has a big part in HPMOR. At least he consumes a lot of narrative space. He essentially drives the whole hermione and the hero club arc, since if he didn't help them it would have been over fast. He does a lot to help Harry mature.

Smaller than in baseline, but still fairly significant. The fourth-most-important professor.

After Quirrell, Dumbledore, and McGonagall, I presume?

FYI, this is cannon. I think this is what you meant. /nitpick
