I don't know if DD asking Snape to entering into a UV with him to 
protect Harry has been proposed before, but I think you might be on 
to something!  Most of the magic presented in the books comes up 
more than once.  And it certainly does seem from the very first book 
that Snape, while cruel to Harry, does all he can to protect him 
from harm.  This would explain why DD feels he can trust Snape 
completely.  

It makes a lot of sense, but it lessens in my mind the idea of 
Snape's redemption - as his better actions will have only been 
because of the UV.  And I am really hoping somehow Snape will turn 
out *not-so-bad*

I was under the impression that DD was mostly using the pensieve to 
show Harry all he knew about Voldemort's life - and I think he 
showed him all he had.  I'm not sure if there were more memories he 
had planned to show Harry.  

I think you are right about Harry using the pensieve to relive the 
memories of his parents' deaths.  And there might be other memories 
that DD took out of his mind before the journey to the cave, just in 
case something happened to him.  I like the idea that Ron and 
Hermione will accompany him on the journeys into the pensieve.  At 
this point though, I don't think Harry knows how to extract his own 
memories or use the pensieve alone.  So, someone else is going to 
have to step-up to help him out.  I am also a little unsure of how 
he will get to the pensieve.  He wasn't very helpful with McGonagall 
at the end of HBP . . . that makes me wonder if she might be less 
than helpful to him.  Nicely tied together idea about Krum and the 
Durmstrang's libray.  And I really like the idea of the DA becoming 
the *New Order*.
