Hickengruendler:

But it won't be pointless, if Dumbledore was going to die from the 
Potion he drank anyway. It is mentioned in the book, that there are 
Potions for which no antidote exists, therefore it should not have 
been ruled out that Dumbledore *knew* his days were numbered. And in 
this case the sacrifice makes sense, because otherwise Snape would 
have died as well (see the Unbreakable Vow). And in this case the 
Order would have lost two powerful weapons. In this special case, the 
sacrifice would have made sense.

And LV can't take credit for DD's death.
