OK so our biggest difference in opinion stems from;
My POV - DD could not possibly be so wrong about Snape
Your POV - DD wouldn't ask Snape to Murder him
I will try and tackle your query. It seems in that chapter that DD
can barely keep himself upright. One of the DE's even suggests he
is 'not long for this world'. DD was dying at that precise moment.
The 'gaze' that Snape and DD exchange before the AK, is simply DD
telling Snape to do it. Since the first curse has not healed, it is
possible that this was premeditated since DD may have been dying
(albeit at a slower rate) from the first curse!!
