I would argue that Somerset was redeemed at the end of Seven in that Mills' 'destruction' caused him to rethink why he was retireing, and possibly causing him to gain back some of the more noble reasons for why he did the job in the first place, although part of that is inferred and not directly stated. The catharsis in the film is his. Admittedly, it's a little bit of redemption for a whole boatload of pain and suffering, but I still see it as being there.

Keep in mind as well that I'm a confirmed David Fincher fan, and my comments are tainted as such. :)
