It's hilarious to see all those ESE!Snape people so quick to naysay~ XD 
The 'theory" Salman Rushdie proposing is the SAME one that most DDM!Snape theorists been
repeating over and over and over... and Salman Rushdie use the word 'we' because it's
obvious what JKR has planned there.

The keypoint of this CORRECT (JKR said so) theory is this:
"Our theory is that Snape is in fact still a good guy. 
*Something* is cooked up between Dumbledore and Snape to put Voldemort off his guard. 
Harry then will have more friends than he knows when he and Voldemort do face." 

So yes DD ordered Snape to really kill him.

Whether DD is REAL death or FAKE death is not the key issues.

Most DDM!Snape theory did believe that DD's death was real, so it's not contradictory at
all. That's why Snape's decision is the truly a horrible, difficult but ultimately RIGHT
thing to do, not an half-ass 'fake death' scenario. It's like Neville's decision to stop
trio in 1st book, turn against your friends to do what you believed was right. It is that
courage. What Snape had to went through was 100 times more horrible. Snape had to kill DD
for real for a right cause. Both Snape and DD are willing to pay the ultimate price to
'sacrifice.' DD sacrificed his life, Snape sacrificed his soul. That's the tragic beauty
of that entire scenario and I'd looking forward to see how JKR conclude this in bk 7 (and
see naysayer still deep in denial despite wall falling apart).
