Snape delayed his return to LV for 2 hours with an excuse. There 
would be no excuse this time. Both Draco and Snape would want to 
report on DD's death and claim credit for their part in it.

I just wonder if LV had alternative reasons for getting Draco to AK 
(tear his soul) other than just get DD out of the picture. If U-No-
Poo had another purpose, the report may make him angry.
