Pippin,

I read what you said and I am thinking the same thing. In previous 
chapters, Hagrid tells Harry that he saw Snape and Dumbledore at 
the edge of the Forbidden Forest having an argument and Snape 
saying in a sense 'I can't do it, I want out'. Dumbledore KNEW 
that Snape was held under the unbreakable vow to 'do what Draco 
cannot'. Someone that powerful knowing what was in store would 
DEFINITELY have a plan. Call me crazy, but I think the argument 
was Snape telling Dumbledore about the vow and he didn't want to 
have to die if he broke the curse, and he didn't want to kill 
Dumbledore, yet if he didn't he would die. Snape and Dumbledore 
know Draco is still a child and knew that he would not be able to 
kill Dumbledore, also that if someone else besides Snape did it, 
Snape would die for breaking the vow. This shows me that if 
Dumbledore is the 'greatest wizard of the age' he would not so 
easily let Snape, or himself, die.
