>>Not at all!  Many Snape-Evil people (I don't include myself with them, 
by the way, since I think Snape has definite Good AND definite Evil in 
his character) point out that the thing that is worse than death is 
having your soul ripped into shreds by murder, thus condemning 
yourself to a nightmare partial existance.  And why would Dumbledore, 
the epitome of goodness, ask someone to do that to themselves?



CathyD now - who does know this is four.

Dumbledore didn't ask Snape to kill him. Never.  He made it clear to Snape that since Snape had made the *choice* to make the Unbreakable Vow, he could not, if put in the position to do so, break it.  Their Legilimency conversation on the tower was quite simply *Severus* 'you cannot break the Vow you chose to make.'  *Severus, please* 'you need to do what you said you would do when you took the Vow.'
