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?
