Now Kelly: 

Absolutely!  I think Snape has been a true Slytherin throughout the 
series.  I believe he has been loyal only to himself the entire 
time.  By worming his way into the position of being the most 
trusted person of both Voldemort and Dumbledore, he secured not only 
his own safety, but also a considerable amount of power.  I think 
the "twitch" of his hand when Narcissa added the third part of the 
vow was him realizing that he would have to choose a side and make 
it known to everyone.  He knew he was going to loose him comfortable 
position as the right hand man to both wizards.

Now Kelly:

I have seen many people speculate that Dumbledore would never plead 
for his life; therefore, he must have had an agreement with Snape.  
I respectfully disagree that an agreement between the two is the 
only alternative.  I think the change is Dumbledore's tone is not a 
plea for life or death, but an expression of shock and disbelief.  
Dumbledore told Harry long ago that he was not afraid of death, so I 
think he is not pleading with Snape not to kill him, but he might 
have been thinking something along the lines of "No, Snape. I 
trusted you!  Don't betray the Order."

Kelly, who is also not over the shock.
