DD asking Snape to AK him.

My last post for today.  This is sooo fun.

DD has always been so polite and proper and yes, loving.  Even when 
others are being so rude, he is polite.  He is also a very 
understanding loving character.  Always trying to understand others.  
Even going to the point of spending lessons with Harry explaining why 
LV (Tom Riddle) became so evil.  In his conversations with Riddle he 
has been polite almost caring.  

I have a very very hard time imagining him asking someone he trusts 
to commit murder.  To me that is so unfair.  If indeed Snape is 
really a good guy, then DD has just asked him to commit the 
unforgiveable sin.  That doesn't go along with DD's character.

I think DD's plea of "Severus... please" can be explained.  Remember 
only DD knew Harry was there watching  the whole thing.  Snape did 
not know Harry was hiding in his invisibility cloak.  I'm sure DD was 
aware the whole scene of Harry's presence.  Would DD want Harry to 
see Snape kill him, knowing Harry totally did not trust Snape?  
Knowing that now it will be almost impossible for Harry to ever trust 
Snape.  What kind of future planning is that?  If Snape was really a 
good guy, this was a very bad moment for them to carry through with 
this big plan.  

Perhaps DD was dying anyway, but Snape doesn't even wait long enough 
to assess the problem.  He doesn't even speak.  Why would he pretend 
to look with hatred at DD?  He's always been so cool and 
unemotional.  He could have AK'd DD without looking so hatefully at 
him.  

My final thought and post for today, I could be all wrong. But, IMHO 
Snape is a baddy.  Snape is mostly for Snape.  He had to choose a 
side and he may have preferred to stay ambiguous, but he had to 
choose and he did.  We have no real evidence of Snape bringing any 
real valuable information to the Order, do we?  Wouldn't him staying 
on the good side and maybe lossing his chance to be a spy be a better 
plus for the good guys than what has happened.  I don't see that 
Snapes value to the Order justifies DD's death and Snape now being a 
murderer.  It just doesn't work for me.  I can't see DD asking anyone 
to do something so evil for any justification whatsoever.

IMO
