I think you're making a completely false assumption here. What 
Dumbledore knows about Harry by now is that he will NEVER kill Snape. 
Harry is not a murderer. He couldn't kill Bella, he was very 
unsettled to learn he might have to kill Voldemort, by far the most 
evil man in the WW. He also stopped Sirius and Lupin from killing 
Peter Pettigrew.

Admittedly, Harry was angry enough to try and Crucio Snape, but that 
isn't a killing curse. Should Harry ever have Snape completely under 
his power--even if it turns out that Snape is completely evil--Harry 
still won't murder Snape. Turn Snape over to authorities, and gladly 
see him sent to Azkaban for life, yes. Kill Snape, no. 

And I'm thankful for that. You seem to be all for Harry killing for 
revenge, because Snape deserves it from your POV. But it doesn't 
matter what Snape deserves in the end. The only thing that matters is 
who Harry is--a true Hero, or one sinks into the very evil he's 
fighting. And we already know which one JKR has chosen.
