Something people seem to refuse to consider that in fact, it is 
Draco that is resposible for Dumbledore's death.

Draco decided to join the Death Eater.

Draco took the job of attempting to kill Dumbledore.

Draco obviously let his mother know.. His mother got Snape involved 
through an unbreakable curse.  The last part of which was promising to complete Draco's assignment if Draco failed.  If he doesn't do 
so, he DIES.

If Draco had been able to kill Dumbledore, Snape would not have had to.  Obviously Dumbledore knew about the vow and Draco's assignment.  
Dumbledore would not want Snape dead, so no doubt told him 'kill me if you must to keep the vow you took. You are more important to the cause then I am.' and that's what had Snape so upset when Hagrid overheard him and Dumbledore.  Few things short of killing someone 
he didn't want to kill would have Snape that upset.

Draco of course failed in Voldemort's task, then Snape had no 
choice, Dumbledore begged him, not for his life, but for Snape to 
save his own life and Draco's.  Dumbledore would NEVER beg for his own life.

So... Its Draco's fault.  Yet everyone wants to blame Snape.
