  I do not agree that this would be very far fetched. I really believe 
that Dumbledore is in the process of dying this entire year due to the 
ring situation. I think that the cave fiasco basically finished him 
off, and the dark mark above the tower gave D.D a last burst of 
strength, but I think he knew he was in the final stages of dying. Now 
IF Snape is a good guy, which I am not sure about, he would more than 
likely have gone to D.D about the whold U.V, Draco situation. I think 
that they would have made some kind of plan  during that hypothetical 
conversation. I think that on the tower, D.D was pleading to Snape to 
protect Harry and Draco. (the two brooms would have given away Harry's 
presence to Snape I.M.O) The death eaters are going to kill D.D and 
Draco if Snape doesnt perform the curse, and the U.V will kill Snape. 
I believe if Snape is good, he would know that DD would never fight 
for a few more hours of life if it meant one of his students and a 
very important member of the Order were going to lose their lives 
because of it. I also think that it would be obvious to Snape that 
whatever measures he had taken to prolong D.D's life earlier that 
year, had become obsolete. So no I dont think there was any kind of 
Psychic communication, but I do beleive that a good Snape would have 
read the signs correctly and would have seen that this was the only 
solution. The face Snape makes could be resentment of Harry or even a 
kind of self hate. But then again, I will never be sure of Snapes 
intentions until they are spelled out by J.K.R.
