I agree with this. I believe the only reason Snape did AK was because of the Unbreakable Vow. Dumbledore knows that Snape did the Vow (since Harry told him about it) and Snape could've told him as well. It could be just that Snape didn't know what he was promising to do in case Draco fails to do it, and in turn Dumbledore does not know it as well. The pleading in Dumbledore's voice when Snape was about to kill him could be his realizing his mistake in not investigating the Vow further, not because he realized Snape has betrayed him... Evil Snape, Evil Dumbledore? I hope it really isn't that way...
