Forgive the intrusion but I've been watching this continuing debate 
and have to ask, any of you, what you think Voldemort personally 
asked Draco to do and under what capacity, because it is very 
important to the scenario? 

Did Voldemort explicitly tell Draco that he was to ask no one for 
help with his quest; only those who were informed by him of Draco's 
quest (like Bella and Narcissa) could help; or was Draco allowed to 
solicit anyone's help as long as it would not directly affect Draco's 
objective; or was it something else? 

In other words, who all was allowed to be involved in the quest, 
according to Voldemort, and what exactly was asked of Draco? 

The most that we absolutely know is that Draco was ordered to kill 
Dumbledore (and will most likely fail- nothing about cabinets or 
opening Hogwarts for the deatheaters); Narcissa knows this quest and 
was ordered by Voldemort not to open her mouth to anyone about it; 
Bella knows of the quest and also of the silence of the quest and is 
insistent that Narcissa does not open her mouth about it; Snape 
claims that he is aware of the request 
but Snape is fairly good at 
legilimence himself. 

[If Snape did not know about Draco's quest until Narcissa revealed it 
to him then I might assume that Snape was left out of the loop 
(especially since Bella was doubtful that Snape knew). If Snape were 
deliberately left out of the loop, of the persons in the know, then I 
would have to ask why?]

I think everyone is in agreement that Draco was not in any position, 
with or without help, to kill the most powerful wizard of all time 
(let alone the only wizard Voldemort ever feared)). So the more 
important question to ask is why Draco was saddled with such a quest?

What was the underlying reason for Voldemort's request from Draco? 
The reason Faith has been given is that Voldemort is really pissed 
off at Lucius. Could be but wouldn't that be a bit lame
wouldn't 
Voldemort aim a bit higher than revenge on a supporter?

Now could it be to set Snape up in a checkmate manner, Damned if you 
do and worse if you don't type of setup
 Really find out which side 
Snape was on for sure. There would only be one way out for Snape if 
he were a true supporter of Voldemort and the sub-mission would be 
accomplished in either move from Snape since his most sinister 
supporters were there as backup. 

Voldemort's plan was to flush out the internal spy by means of the 
most vulnerable area within his fold, which would be Narcissa, since 
her husband landed himself in Azkaban unable to advise her or Draco, 
and attack their only son. Love of her son will drive Narcissa to 
Snape. 

Voldemort is an excellent Legilimence and knows the ways of human 
nature (Dumbledore quoting that Voldemort expects us fools to act in 
a certain way when we love) and knew that Narcissa would act the way 
in which she did. Bella was also expected to act in the way in which 
she had. So I'm going to go ahead and make the assumption that 
Voldemort is not a fool and suspects Snape since his plans at the 
Ministry were alluded and quite a few of his dominions have been 
captured therefore there is a spy amongst his flock would be an 
accurate assumption on his part. 

In earnest, as far as ACIDPOPS, I have to go back to the assumption 
that Snape is part of the Black family in a manner. Snape and Sirius 
have had bad blood since the youngest of days. Sirius cousins are 
none other than Narcissa and Bella ergo the bond between Narcissa and 
Snape. 

End of interference
