Yes, Dumbledore's death and the manner in which he died is depressing.  
While I think if DD had a choice he would prefer preferred to go out 
fighting; however for much of this particular "fight,"  DD is unable to 
fight back. He is weak and surrounded by horrible group of DEs.

And as far as Snape is concerned...not exactly sure what to make of it. 
  There is something else going on. Of course it could be that DD knew 
that Snape had to be a betray him, for the events to fall in place that 
will lead to LV's destruction.  Or?

Oddly enough, I think the part where Snape blasts DD off the Tower at 
Hogwarts is more in line with how DD would prefer to die.  It would be 
in DD's "style." Yes, the DD we have read about would prefer to go out 
with a bang rather than a slow lingering death.  And he would prefer to 
die at Hogwarts too.  Only it's would have been better if it had been 
killed by a confirmed enemy rather than  a "friend."
