OK- maybe so.  BUT DD knew that Harry wouldn't trust Snape.  If DD and 
Snape set up the killing, and set it up for it to be in front of Harry, 
then wouldn't DD know this would do nothing but increase Harry's 
mistrust of Snape?  And so, wouldn't DD let SOMEONE know what was going 
on with Snape, and that he COULD be trusted, and that he was the one to 
lead Harry?   Because surely, DD knew human nature enough to know that 
once Snape killed him, it would severely dent his standing in the 
Order.  So, unless someone in the Order does know that the whole thing 
was a set up and isn't saying anything to counter all of the 
accusations that are now flying at Snape, then no, I don't buy that 
Snape is the one that is supposed to help Harry.

And since everyone in the Order is currently buying Harry's side of 
what happened, I don't see Snape living through walking into Grimmauld 
Place.
