I think this is a brilliant interpretation, actually, if one does 
not support DD!M Snape of course :-)

I used to think simply " please do not betray me" or something like 
that, but yours is so much more elegant IMO because it plays on 
Lily's begging.

Bravo.


Becky:
 
With all due respect I don't think this makes sense at all. Why on earth MUST Snape know Harry is there? He had no reason to assume it. Snape wasn't threatening Harry, he had his wand pointed at Dumbledore and didn't even try to kill Harry afterwards - he stopped the others from hurting him, so why would Dumbledore assume Snape was going to hurt Harry? Why would he be pleading for Harry's life at that point?
