Quick_silver:
I know that this question wasn't addressed to me but I like to say 
my bit about it. The whole set up of Spinners End comes across as 
suspicious in my opinion. I mean Draco being selected to either aid 
a DE invasion of Hogwarts or kill Dumbledore seems like an 
impossible, hopeless task and, most conveniently, Narcissa agrees. 
Narcissa, predictably, does to the one person who is a position to 
help Draco...Snape. Then Bellatrix and Peter are there seeming to 
add more confusion and suspicion to the mix that surrounds Snape. I 
mean compared to Voldemort's plans in GoF and OotP this plan seems 
to be relatively straight forward and he risks almost 
nothing...unlike in GoF or OotP he doesn't lose a major 
advantage/goal if the plan failed. 

People constantly say that if Voldemort found out that Snape 
had "repented" then Snape would be dead. Why? Unless I'm mistaken 
Ginny began to suspect to Dairy and tried to get rid of it yet 
Voldemort continued use her. Voldemort himself said in GoF that he 
killed Bertha because she was of no further use to him. Snape, even 
a DDM!Snape, could have been of immense use to Voldemort...indeed it 
appears that Snape has been...he removed Dumbledore from the picture.
