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.
