Julia:
Here is the exact quote: 

"Snape caught hold of her wrists and removed her clutching hands 
[narcissa's]. Looking down into her tear-stained face, he said 
slowly, 'He intends me to do it in the end, ***I think***. But he is 
determined that Draco should try first. You see in the unlikely 
event that Draco succeeds I shall be able to remain at hogwarts a 
little longer, fulfilling my useful role as a spy.'"

IMO when Snape says he THINKS Voldemort intends him to kill DD in 
the end he expresses his hopes or some assumptions but it's clear to 
me that he didn't get any orders from his master. That sounds like 
Snape thinks that Voldemort thinks that Snape will do what is right 
but without earlier orders...

That makes me think that Snape lies, he says that but it's not true -
 it's just a safe lie. So the fact is that Voldemort didn't inform 
SS about Draco's Mission probably because he still don't trust him 
enough to introduce him to the plan of killing DD. How will then 
Voldemort react? IMO he won't be glad - he's too smart not to be 
suspicious about Snape's unexpected involvment... Voldemort is not 
stupid - he knows that DD is the only man who trusts Snape and 
therefore Snape has no intention of killing him... IMO Voldemort 
will start to wonder what made Snape do that...
