Maggie:

I'm in the "Dumbledore wanted Snape to kill him" camp too.  Your 
point about protecting Malfoy is well taken.  Let's not forget that 
Voldemort absolutely wanted Draco to kill Dumbeldore, perhaps 
fulfilling some other prophecy we don't know about yet.

And...forgive me I don't have the book handy, didn't dumbledore tell 
Malfoy (maybe Harry) "there are things worse than death."  

Ultimately, I think Snape will sacrifice himself to save Harry....
