Question regarding Draco's safety and Snape's vow ?

I was thinking, Lord Voldemort had a task for Draco and that we are assuming was to kill Dumbledore.   For all intent and purpose, Dumbledore's dead but it wasn't at Draco's hand.   I think this task was a way for Draco to make-up for Lucius' blunders and save the Malfoy name in LV's eyes.   Now, let's say that LV is upset with Draco and he feels that Draco failed him.   Perhaps he will want him killed.    We saw Snape make an unbreakable vow with Narcissa and Bellatrix to protect him.    Is he under obligation to protect Draco against LV or did it just apply to the task ?    

(I just re-read that passage and saw where Narcissa adds that if Draco would fail, would Snape carry out the task for Draco and Snape says "I will.")
