I love this idea!  I think that this would be very DD-ish.  DD's a 
smart man, and if you've read some of the other posts, there is a lot 
of speculation that Madame Pince is Snape's mom...It's fun, read 
those...anyway, DD would already know that Snape would follow his 
orders to the bitter end, and of course Snape would hate himself for 
killing the man who saved his (and maybe his mom's) lives.  Snape is 
also a guy who would want to tweak the rules to make the plan run 
better (as we've seen by his book edits) and DD would be more a guy 
to "stick to the plan."  Anyway, good theory!
