Miles:
I think the parallels are quite important.
We see some parallels that imply DDM!Snape (then Harry and Snape would be in
similar situations in both scenes), but for me the most striking parallel is
the wording for describing Harry feeding Dumbledore the poison and Snape
killing Dumbledore on top of the tower. The parallels of the cave and tower
scenes would be totally useless for the novel, if Snape would turn out as
LVs man.

Furthermore, I don't know why Rowling should construct a situation for Snape
where his only choices are a) killing Dumbledore or b) killing himself
without saving Dumbledore, endangering Draco, Harry and countless students
and Aurors in the castle, when Snape would have chosen a) deliberately
without any of these circumstances (the Vow, the DEs on the tower etc).
Would be bad writing, if you ask me.

Back to the
Miles, who doesn't think that Rowling is a bad writer, especially when he
forgets about all the romantic stuff she tries to write
