Obiwansheip:
I think Snape only killed DD on his own request. The argument he had 
with him that was overheard by Hagrid could be prove for that. 
Hagrid says that Snape said DD was asking too much of him and that 
maybe he wouldn't be willing to do it. DD must have known he would 
not survive the poison. He asked for a quick death and Snape was the 
only one he could ask for this. His hatred that he needed for the AK 
curse might come from his hate aganst DD to ask this of him. Snape 
is now also in a better position to spy for the Order as no one will 
doubt his loyalty to Voldie anymore. Not even Voldie himself. The 
fight with Harry before he runs from buckbeak, well he never really 
liked the golden boy and with just haing killed the one man who 
always backed him up it was a welcome chance to let out his anger on 
him
