I agree.  I want to believe he just said that to find out what 
Voldemort had planned.  I think he hoped to thwart the operation, but 
to protect himself from being discovered as a spy, he had to do the 
unbreakable oath.  He did not expect a child to have been entrusted 
with the daunting task of killing such a powerful wizard.  
Voldemort's plan was to have Draco kill Dumbledore because the 
headmaster would not expect an attact from a child.  Snape had to 
complete the task because of the unbreakable vow.

I know others will say Draco's task was only to get the Deatheaters 
into the castle.  Dumbledore was known to be wrong before about 
certain things, and possibly Snape's allegience.  However, 
Voldemort's comments in GoF about the missing member who would be 
dealt with, leads me to believe that Snape really was on Dumbledore's 
side.
