Um ... reading this scene, I got the impression that Snape was 
taken by surprise here, but he had Bellatrix breathing down his 
neck, he knew that he wasn't playing for pennies here and any 
hesitation would lead to his cover being blown. (Nevertheless, 
he does react slightly) Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of the 
age, would just have to look after himself, something he is very 
good at - with the appropriate warning, of course (and who *did* 
warn him what Draco was up to, if not Snape?). How was either 
of them to know Draco was going to bring in the Death Eaters on 
that particular night in hopes of getting all the credit? Even if he 
*is* a normal sixteen-year-old boy! ;-) It was just bad luck that it 
happened when DD was at his most vulnerable after that 
useless visit to the cave.
