Spoiler: Nowhere in the book does it say he killed his sister. It says it's a possibility, and Dumbledore even admits it could have been him, but it was an accidental death no matter who did it. I don't get where you're seeing that it says he straight up did it. Yes he feels guilty about it, and yes it could have been him, but does a horrible accident that MIGHT have been his fault make him a "villain?" You mentioned earlier that he didn't even feel bad about it and that he was ruthless with it. You must have missed the entire chapter about Dumbledore feeling immense pain at the death of his sister and guilt beyond measure.
Yes, it was a horrible situation to put Snape in making him end Dumbledore's life, but who else could do it? If nobody else killed him, the wand would go to Voldemort since it was Voldemort's curse that was gonna kill him in 1 year anyway. Would anyone else at Hogwarts kill Dumbledore and not be screwed over for life? Snape was already spying on the Death Eaters. Him killing Dumbledore was the <I>perfect</I> solution to the entire situation.
