It's About Motive

1. Why did Snape kill DD?
I think that Snape told DD about LV's plan with Draco- so DD knows 
he must die as if he doesn't, Draco and/or the Malfoys probably 
will. Naturally, DD would do anything to protect his students, and 
gives Harry the lessons so that Harry knows about LV when DD is 
inevitably dead- as BC said- to prepare him.

Therefore, DD knows that Snape will have to kill him, 'to save 
Draco's soul'.  DD asks Snape to kill him, and pleads because he 
knows that Snape will be alone when DD has gone. Snape, IMHO a 'good 
guy', will now be disregarded from the order, as the members seem to 
be unaware of any plans from DD, and will have to fend for himself, 
protecting his thoughts from LV while also being exiled? from 
wizarding society. 
 
2. Why did DD trust Snape?
I totally agree with just about everything BG posted, but I think 
rather than Snape liking? Lily, which I'm not sure, but I think BG 
implied, I think rather he's in love with Narcissa due to the 
romantisised lexis used when she was described in Spinner's End.
(Just My Opinion)

I think that Snape had to tell DD something about love for DD to 
trust him, as somewhere (sorry cant find the canon) DD implies that 
love is the greatest power. I don't think DD would trust Snape so 
implicity if Snape's secret was not about something DD believed very 
strongly in.


just some thoughts-
