Doddiemoemoe here:

I think Dumbledore trusted Snape in that he trusted Snape to act in 
Snapes best interests for Snape and hoped for the best.  The best, 
was not however, what Dumbledore got, maybe a few closes, but never 
the best.

Snape could have made short work of the DE's remaining on the tower 
ledge and went into hiding with Draco and Fam. and perhaps even 
extend DD's life a little longer.  He didn't do it he chose to kill 
DD..

I think Snape didn't kill Harry because of a vow he made earlier to 
DD and because of the life debt he still owes Harry due to James 
saving his life.

I don't think Snape knows about the horcruxes of 
voldemort...especially if DD trusted Snape to continue to act as he 
did--looking out for his own life because of the unbreakable vows 
he's made and his delusions of grandeur in DE circles.

I think DD's "please" was begging Snape to make the right choice and 
he did not do it.  This is why DD froze Harry...so Harry could decide 
for himself--as DD did..

I cannot believe Snape blew his second chance--he'll never get that 
from Voldemort, Harry or anyone on the lighter side of the WW..

--who is quite upset that Snape has single-handedly shown the WW that 
second chances are completely undeserving during war time...poor Stan
