    So, you would have Snape kill Amycus, while the rest stand by with 
their mouths hanging open, then Greyback, then Alecto, who is also still 
frozen in shock, then the last DE, and then Draco, who probably figures 
he's next. Not a counter-curse has been fired in self-defense, which is 
a good thing, because flying curses and hexes might have hit Harry and 
made the whole tower scene moot. Having saved the day, Snape goes to 
Dumbledore and discovers that he is also dead as a nit, and now he will 
spend the next several months in Azkaban explaining why he was 
discovered surrounded by four dead DE and a junior DE and Harry Potter, 
the-boy-who-is-a-video-camera-for-Voldemort, and Dumbledore. Meanwhile, 
Voldemort takes over the world. The only cost to Voldemort would be six 
more DE.

   I'm sure that JKR will find a way for Snape to contact someone a 
little more receptive than you. If not, I can see some serious plot 
holes looming in book 7.
