Very Nice. I like the parallels you have discovered.
As for myself, I don't think good or evil applies to Snape. He is amoral. He will do what is necessary to see that he gets business done. In HBP, business required Dumbledore's death. But he is also setting his sights on Tom Riddle on book 7. Because now he has Harry where he wants him, guardianless and enamored of the HBP book. Harry loved that book and the person who wrote it. Snape will use that against him. I wrote another essay about that which I will upload in the future.
But I like what you wrote! It never occurred to me that Richard lived at Snape castle. Wow!
This doesn't bode well for Snape's survival. My kingdom for a horse!
