Hang on just a sec, does it say anywhere in canon that a broken UV 
would result in *immediate* death?
It could be that a UV *was* made, but the death will come in a much 
subtler way - or less direct, for instance like in the Final 
Destination films, where the characters have been 'marked' by Death, 
but Death has to be given the chance to occur somehow, externally i 
mean, not just collapsing out of the blue. If this *is* the case 
(and 
I do doubt this theory somewhat), it could be that Snape will try 
harder now to make amends for any misdeeds, knowing that he is 
definitely going to die and (relatively) soon. Thus, IMO, the 
Selfish!
Snape would live on, in a way.
