Dumbledore alive!! (spoiler)

This might sound ridiculous but I remember reading in book four 
when Mad-Eye Moody (young Barty Crouch) used the Avada Kedavra 
curse on the spiders he said that an unaccomplished wizard could 
not kill another wizard but would probably give them only a 
nosebleed. 

But I was wondering could an extremely accomplished wizard and 
sick wizard (Snape) be able to control the power of the curse. 
Instead of killing someone just hurting them badly or putting 
them into a coma but not kill. It's because I guess I don't want 
to belive Snape's evil and Dumbledore is dead. And if this is 
possible it would give the good wizards the element of surprise 
against LV because he thinks DD is dead. 

Another thought, what if Snape thought of a nonverbal spell and 
put the magic in that and not the Avada Kedavra verbal spell. And 
one more thought, I went through the 5th book again and remember 
them finding a locket that they threw out?
