We can have theories but I don't see how we can ever know with
certainty what that "please" meant; Dumbledore is dead so he can't
say, and the only character's thoughts we readers have direct accesses
to is Harry. The obvious explanation of what that "please" meant is as
good as any other.

I agree that my viewpoint has not been proven beyond the shadow of a
doubt, but in my opinion it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
If I were on a jury I would not hesitate for one second to find Snape
guilty of first degree murder. I mean, if somebody else was about to
throw Dumbledore off that tower and Snape had prevented it nearly
everybody would say that was very strong evidence indeed that Snape
was basically a good guy, but the rules of evidence work both ways.
