Kneazle24 now:

I believe Snape is evil and that Dumbledore always knew. Dumbledore say of Hagrid: "I would trust Hagrid with my life."  With Snape, Dumbledore always "simply" says: "I trust him."  

Dumbledore always uses words like a scalpel. I think Dumbledore meant that he can always trust Snape to act like Snape.

I think Dumbledore had a plan, and that part of it was to have Snape 
kill him.  That whole pleading thing! Merlin! Is there anything that 
infuriates snape like weakness? (Consider Neville in potions) I think Dumbledore deliberately provoked Snape.

Isn't the situation just Dumbledorian? Dumbledore always believed in 
the power of sacrifice, love, and redemption.  Snape NEVER bought into any of that. Snape has always been about power and control.

Dumkbledore apparently lost, but I am postive he created a powerful 
magic from his own death. I wonder why he needed snape to do the deed and how its going to help destroy Voldemort.
