well, it could be that Snape *didn't* know about the mission at 
Spinner's End - however, he does state to Narcissa, after she asks him 
to do it for Draco - that the Dark Lord expect me to do it in the end -
 or something similar to that effect (don't have my book on hand).

I believe that Snape knew that about the plan.  DD had already been 
*cursed* with the ring horcrux, and I still believe that DD was living 
on borrowered time.  Snape knew that as well, as he tended to DD.  
Which is why he took the vow.

However, if he didn't know about the mission and Voldemort finds out 
that Snape killed DD instead of Draco - I don't know what he will do.  
Will he be pleased - after all, DD's dead - I am sure Voldy would have 
liked to do it himself, but hey, look at the end result.  Or will he 
be very angry, as he wanted to punish the Malfoy's and now he cannot - 
well, he still can - but you know what I mean.

At anyrate, Snape is a marked man - whether it be from the OotP or 
from the DE's camp.  Could be both - he is walking a fine tightrope 
here.
