I doubt it - because an  Unbreakable Vow *kills*, and that strikes me
as being a bit of Dark  magic.

The UV is something you do to someone you don't trust.

Brief Chronicles now:
That's a good point. Is an Unbreakable Vow only Dark Magic? That would  count 
out the possibility that Snape has made such a vow with Dumbledore. Still,  
in Chapter 2, Snape did show an understanding of the vow that seemed above  
Bellatrix's understanding (instructing her on how close she needed to be, etc.).  
That looked to me like a hint. Could he have made one in the past with Lord  
Thingy that caused him great pain and regret?
 
Brief Chronicles, who will not believe that Snape is bad   ;)
