SSSusan:
To this part of your post, I'll simply point to Pippin's response here:

... and say, "Yeah. What SHE said." ;-)

Seriously, Pippin had an excellent point about DD not *killing* a whole 
mess of people.  And I guess I'm not sure where this SuperWizard!Snape 
stuff has come from.  I think Snapeykins is mightily talented, but I'm 
not sure I buy that he's some super-duper, world's-most-talented-
fighter-soldier or anything.  What Dumbledore could do not many others 
can.  'Twould be why Voldy feared only he, right?

SSSusan:
Unless that friend is commanding you to take that very action.  That's 
the point many of us DDM!Snapers are trying to make: that we believe 
that DD asked or commanded Snape to kill him.  It's kind of hard to 
argue what's "better" when our read of the scene includes such an order 
from DD.  Many don't believe DD would ever do such a thing.  Many 
others don't believe DD would hesitate to sacrifice himself if he felt 
the situation would require it/things would be better in the end if he 
did.

We shall, of course, see in Book 7.
