I also saw the same parallels. To go a bit further, the scenes
also "look" somewhat similar. We only know that Harry was acting on
Dumbledore's orders because we follow Harry's POV in the books. But
from the outside (ie, the way we saw Snape killing DD, w/out the
background of knowing Harry swore to do DD's orders no matter what),
it would look as if Harry was trying to off Dumbledore during the
scene where he is giving him the potion. Harry's viewpoint of the
Dumbledore/Snape scene is unreliable; or perhaps more accurately, it
cannot give us the full picture of what has happened.
I also think Snape must have done something else to make Dumbledore
trust him for so many years. The fact that Snape told Dumbledore that
he (Snape) overheard the prophecy and told Voldemort doesn't seem
like it would be enough for Dumbledore to trust him so implicitly. I
think there must be more to know here regarding why Dumbledore trusts
Snape. We are to believe that Dumbledore has very good judgment and
is whip-smart -- what exactly would Snape have done to convince
Dumbledore he -- a Death Eater -- was trustworthy?
