**Marcela: In my message 132916, I theorized about this.  This is 
the part referring to your question here.

8. Dumbledore made Harry promise him to follow his orders/wishes
even if they didn't make sense to Harry. (Cave chapter? or previous
one?)
I have reason to suspect that Dumbledore had asked the same from
Snape: in the event that Draco were about to kill him, Snape should
do it. A dead Snape would be worthless to the cause, :)
That way, Snape'd have proven beyond any doubt that he was loyal to
Voldie. But. I get the feeling that Dumbledore asked Snape to help
Harry/Order after his death. Maybe another Unbreakable Vow? But
who'd have been the 'third' party? New character in HP7? Or one of
those Order members that Jo mentioned in her last interview, that
we've heard of but don't know them well yet?
"If" Snape was loyal to Dumbledore, this new or semi-new character
will be very important in HP7, because so far the Order believed
that Snape had betrayed them. This way, when this Order member
confesses that Snape is truly loyal to them, then things would not
look that grim for Harry/Order.
I suspect of this because Snape had tons of opportunities to hex
Harry at the end, he could have stupefied him and taken him to
Voldie. But Snape didn't. He not only "told" Harry what he needed to
do: close his mind and learn silent casting of spells, but he also
convinced the other DE's to leave Harry.

So, I'd think Aberforth is a good candidate.  Curiously, there is a 
parallelism with Bella and Cissy being sisters in the Unbreakable 
Vow with Snape...and Albus and Aberforth are brothers...
