Ladyljd:
I'll take a stab at it. I believe DD's only motivation at this
point is to keep Draco from killing him. No other DE's are around
so he believes he has time and room to maneuver. If he can keep
Draco from killing him, there is no reason for the Vow to kick in
immediately at that point. Once the other DE's arrive, followed by
Snape, DD's window of opportunity closes for good.
If you believe in the DD/Snape pre-planning theory, their hands are
tied from this point on.
