I don't think anyone bring this one up yet, but one more clue to prove the 'DD order Snape 
to kill him' camp deliberate choice of similar sets of vocabularies:

US Hardcover,  

p. 571:
Dumbledore panted and then spoke in a voice Harry did not 
recognize, for he had never heard Dumbledore **frightened** like 
this. 
"**Hating** himself, **repulsed** by what he was doing, Harry 
forced the goblet back toward Dumbledore's mouth and tipped it, so that 
Dumbledore drank the remainder of the potion inside." 


p. 595:  
"Severus..." The sound **frightened** Harry beyond anything 
he had experienced all evening. 
"Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was 
**revulsion** and **hatred** etched in the harsh lines of his face."

The parallization is just too obvious here. DD forcing Harry to go through killing DD 
himself with the potion, has the same sets of words used in SS killing DD scene...hinting 
the same situation possibly? 

And a lot of people seems to completely forget the argument Hagrid overheard of between 
DD and Snape. Snape doesn't want to do it ('it' being Snape killing DD), but DD insist him 
follow through. 

Why? Why the killing?

Because DD is dying, from sacrificing himself. 
And just like Harry, Snape is more valuable than DD for some unknown significant reason.

DD and his mysterious injured blackened hand is the hint: before the book began, DD was 
either fatally poison or cursed by the ring, and is slowly dying. Snape and DD already 
made the deal of having Snape AK him for the future greater good purpose (reason not 
explicit explained yet, maybe DD is making himself a hocrux hence ought to be 
destoryed), that clearly this deal is made BEFORE the Unbreakable Vow (in 'Spinner's End' 
Snape already mention about knowing DD's hand injury). 

Now it'd be very interesting and helpful if we were to organize the scarily similarities 
between LV and Snape, how these two mirror each other. What is the purpose of this 
deliberate parallelization for the theme and future plot?  We used to only have the 
parallelization between LV and HP, why throw in Snape all the sudden? Why do we have 
three half blood key-players for the finale?
