Dumbledore was going to die at some
point, so that Harry could stand on his own. If there
was some prearraingment between Snape and Dumbledore,
suggesting some master plan of Dumbledore encompassing
even his own death, Harry could never be said to be
really on his own. He would merely be a piece on a
chess board, with Dumbledore as the chess master
actually moving the pieces

Dumbledore may have had a plan, but for Harry to be
truly on his own, that plan needed to be rendered
fully moot. Snape acting in league with Dumbledore
does not acconplish this. Only a Snape, acting as
betrayer and murderer could accomplish this,
surprising Dumbledore and countering Dumbledore and
his plan at this, the most inopportune of moments.

Dumbledore may have had a contingency is case his
plans fell apart. This accounts for his insistance
that Harry tell Ron and Hermione everything. So in the
event that Dumbledore and his plan failed, his proxy,
that is Ron and Hermione, would be there to pick up
the pieces, guiding Harry in ways possibly unforseen
by Dumbledore. Dumbledore would surely know that there
are many roads to the same destination, many of them
unexpected and unforseen by him.

.Also, the death of Dumbledore at that moment was most
untimely. Think of the unanswered questions, much of
it information Harry will need. Dumbledore would not
have chosen this moment to die, leaving Harry less
than ready. This, I believe,  accounts for
Dumbledore's plea. He was not begging for himself, but
for Harry. He would never beg on his own behalf, but
he would do anything
for Harry, even beg.

Snape the betrayer, Snape the murderer, executing
Dumbledore before Dumbledore could fully prepare
Harry, truly leaves Harry on his own; unprepared to
face, let alone defeat Voldemort. And with only his
friends to aid him, he will be, I believe, precisely
where JKR wants him to be.
