I'd like to see them try! Snape would turn them both into dog food.

No problem.

If that vow complicates Snape's plans he'll receive no sympathy from
me. It's like a drunk driver saying, you can't blame me for killing
your children, I never would have done it if I was sober but I was
drunk out of my mind so it's not my fault.

No, Snape wasn't a hero because he didn't save Harry because he valued
life but because he had information almost nobody else had, that Harry
was the only one who could kill Voldemort and Snape needed to use
Harry if he wanted to be number one and rule the world as I think he
does. And Snape is not a hero because he apparently never told
Dumbledore that one of his teachers tried to murder a student.

If your theory is correct then Dumbledore cared more for Draco than he
did for Harry and Snape combined because he must know that even if
Harry kills Voldemort and survives his job will not be over, he will
not just play Quidditch for the rest of his life, his next target will
be Snape and that bodes ill for both of them.
