I thought of this theory too, and I'd like to add that it is fact 
that dead bodies don't bleed (Anyone seen Gosford Park?).  This is 
also mentioned in the chapter, The Cave when Harry uses the 
sectumsempra spell on the inferi and notices that they don't bleed.  
Yet Harry wiped blood from Dumbledore's mouth after returning to 
him.  So this means he must have suffered the injury either before 
Snape used Avada Kedavra, or the AV didn't kill him at all but 
simply knocked him off the tower.
