I am running Finale 2004-2011 (including Finale 2007) on Snow Leopard without any problems. Your experience is not the norm.
If you cal them, MakeMusic can easily deauthorize all versions of Finale 2007 associated with your serial #, which -- if everything else is working correctly -- ought to allow you to re-authorize via the internet on your current machine. It would appear that whoever you spoke to at MakeMusic gave you bad information.
