Has anyone thought that Dumbledore's repeated requests to Harry to get Snape or wake Snape were an attempt to GET HARRY OUT OF THE WAY.  Harry again and again refuses to do as Dumbledore asks, gets frozen and has to witness something Dumbledore might have known was going to happen.  Now Harry is a loose canon, being as he witnessed something he likely had no understanding of and spouted it off to the rest of the Wizard World.   However, what surprises me is that while noone would believe things Harry said before, the OotP is too quick to believe him this time.  Even with Snape fleeing with the DEs with Malfoy, the only person not a DE to witness Snape killing Dumbledore was Harry.   A kid.  Seems too easy for people to believe Harry so quickly.  

LV knows Snape is in the Order.  LV thinks Snape is HIS Spy. He is 
acting the double agent.  But there's too many things that make me 
believe Snape is still Dumbledore's man.  Dumbledore would never beg 
Snape not to kill him.  He would sacrifice his life to save the others even if it's asking Snape to kill him to do it.  Snape had no choice in the matter.  Draco failed to carry out his mission. Snape had to carry it out for him or DIE die to the vow.  Dumbledore would rather die himself at the hand of his own friend then allow that friend to die.  Then of course Dumbledore would have died and the Malfoy family would have died after LV found out Draco (and Snape) failed.. and Snape would not be there to rush all the DEs out and many students might have died too.
