Ok, I've read this section again for the third time.  Since DD's body 
falling off the top of the tower is described as a rag doll ("then he 
fell slowly backward, like a great rag doll, over the battlements and 
out of sight.), I agree with you that he was limp at this point.  
However, I want to point out that he did, in fact, move 
inappropriately.  "he was forced to watch as Dumbledore was BLASTED 
INTO THE AIR.  For a split second, he seemed to hang suspended 
beneath the shining skull, and then he fell...." (emphasis is mine).

I do wish to point out I agree the spell worked (Snape killed DD), 
just not as prettily as it should or could have.

Smart
