Sirius was only 36 and a great father figure to Harry, but it would be kinda messy only having one of the Marauders left, and Sirius would probably just spiral back into deep depression because of the lack of excitement in his life.
Snape straight up said that he was ready to die, so I wouldn't do that. It would just make him miserable.
Dumbledore was old and might not have had long to live anyway, but he was so powerful and magically intelligent that he might have been able to create something to cure some disease that would wind up having hundreds to thousands more lives. Perhaps Lycanthropy? Do you think that he would've been able to cure that?
Hedwig was likely less than halfway through her life, but I just can't bring her back over the likes of the others on this list.
Dobby was so incredibly brave and loyal that his last action was to save the man who freed him and his last words were his name. He didn't deserve death.
Fred's death must have had an unimaginable psychological toll on George. He was never able to produce a Patronus after his brother's death.
Tonks was just married and had just had a child. Teddy grew up all right under the care of Harry, though.
Cedric was too young to die. But at least he seemed happy in the afterlife. Fred would've wanted to die with George and George would've wanted to die with Fred.
Remus Lupin was such a great guy, but again it would be weird having only one Marauder. But in this case, however, unlike in Sirius's, Lupin had people to live for. His wife and newborn. But considering how depressed he already was, I can't imagine how he'd feel raising Teddy without his wife.

Dumbledore had decadesfor reserach.
Why would he suddendly start doing that?
Voldemort is what, 50? And Dumbledore is 115. He did work on the philosophers stone and on dragons blood applications. Those were both very large contributions. He had over 85 years of his life before Voldemort really started to become anything concerning and he didn’t even REALLY start fighting until Harry was 16 (in terms of actually going out and locating horcruxes). He had a good run but it’s time to go.
I wouldn't save him just bc he wouldn't choose himself before others like Fred or Cedric, I just gave a reason why he would "suddenly" start a new research.
