Dumbledore as a Living Horcrux

01. The horcrux in the cave (HBP/26) wasn't the locket, *but the
potion itself.*

02. The only way to take the potion-horcrux out of the basin was to
drink it.

03. Whoever drinks it would become a living horcrux.

04. A living horcrux is bound to be controlled by the horcrux's owner, 
as suggested in HBP/24.

05. To destroy a living horcrux it is necessary to kill it.

06. Dumbledore knew all this since the first page and willingly
sacrificed himself.

07. Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him when the time comes, and Snape
agreed.

So:

08. Dumbledore was not stupid and caught off guard; he planned his own
death to be significant.

09. Having drunk the potion, Dumbledore started to fight against
possession, much like Harry in OotP/36.

10. He needed to be killed as soon as possible; that's why he asked
for Snape in HBP/28.

11. In the end, he feared Snape wouldn't be able to kill him; so he
begged Snape to be killed (HBP/28).

12. But Snape had done his homework -- the Unbreakable Vow -- and
killed Dumbledore as planned.

Now I will reread HBP and see if all this makes sense. Your comments
will be appreciated.
