Pippin:
I don't think he knows, but he knows it's a possibility, one that he
doesn't like very much and prefers not to speak of, like the horcruxes
themselves.

 Is it possible that the pieces that tear off of Voldemort's soul when 
he murders are pure and untarnished?  The Diary was evil, but the
Diary was also imprinted with Voldemort's personality, which according
to Dumbledore only rests in the core soul. Maybe Voldemort has been
losing his innocence literally.

Pippin:
Of course he did not want to die, not in the sense that he had nothing
to live for. But if he had something to die for, and it was more important
than anything else, then he would die, IMO.

 We know from the Fluffy episode that unlike some wizards, Snape can 
only zap one target at a time.  Even if Snape wasn't incapacitated by the
vow, there would still be spells flying all over the place if a fight started.
Harry was frozen and wouldn't have been able to duck. He'd have been
helpless if a stray spell or a piece of debris hit him.
