I think that Dumbledore might have had Snape kill him (dumbledore).  
1. We have been mislead into thinking that Snape is ESE over and over 
again.
2. In previous books, Dumbledore has indicated that he is not afraid 
of death, so why beg Snape on the tower?  We never hear him beg for 
his life, so might he be begging for Snape to fulfill his promise?
3. How can Snape avoid killing DD? He has been spying on DE's, he made 
an unbreakable vow, the confrontation takes place in front of 
DE...etc.  If he does not act he dies and they lose a spy close to 
Voldemort.  If he acts he loses his place as spy against the order.  
It is a catch-22 that is typical of rowling.
4.  Some think that DD is not dead.  Don't know if I belive this one, 
but could Snape use one of the Weasley's fake wands and still fulfill 
his promise as he would still have uttered the spell with the intent 
to kill?

Anyway that is all I can think of this late.
