Ok, fine, but why did Dumbledore have to die, Snape was already in
good with Voldemort? And why did Snape make an Unbreakable Vow to
Murder Dumbledore months before he actually did it? It all makes no
sense if Snape is good, it makes perfect sense if Snape is evil.

Voldemort is going to start distrusting Snape too. Tyrants are always
on the lookout for rivals and who better fits that role than the man
who killed the most powerful wizard in the world? Voldemort is not
going to be happy when he hears people say Snape killed Dumbledore and
not the Dark Lord.

I am certain Dumbledore would not be so caviler in dismissing Harry's
abilities, with the exception of Snape the other Death Eaters seemed
no match for Harry, and Voldemort personally tried to kill him 5 times
and failed 5 times; nobody is that lucky he must have something on the
ball. And Dumbledore must have known that even if Harry defeats
Voldemort and survives he won't be able to get on with his life until
he hunts down Snape. If Snape is really a good guy then Dumbledore has
played a very very nasty trick on both of them by keeping Harry in the
dark.

Kill the other Death Eaters and tell Voldemort that Dumbledore had
done it, Snape was far more powerful than his Death Eater pals and he
had the element of surprise.
