I didn't like the way Snape died it does feel like he got cheated.
I don't know whether you saw the two essays I'd linked to earlier. The first one here agrees with you that Snape got a pretty raw deal. But the second one, here, points out something that that I hadn't quite seen clearly until I read it, that Snape's death led directly to Voldemort's downfall. Which, since it was his greatest goal for years, was probably what that dour Potions Master would have wished.
That being said, I thought Snape's death scene was one of the best in the book, if not the series. Ruthless and heartbreaking.
