'...He was taking too much for granted'

Hi, I'm sorry if this theory has been discussed before, but I was
wondering about the row Hagrid overhears in the forest - DD and SS
arguing about something. 

I don't have the book here, but as I remember it Hagrid says, 'looks
like Snape is feeling a bit overworked, that's all...he said that
Dumbledore was taking too much for granted and that maybe he, Snape,
didn't want to do it anymore'.

After one finishes the book, it's obvious to think (I'm taking the
view that Snape is good and DD asked him to be killed because he was
dying) that SS felt it was too much to kill his mentor, and that he
didn't want to do it.

But yesterday I thought, wait a moment! SS had made the UV, so there
was no way he could have backed off from killing DD (well, except if
DM got there first). The row in the forest, though, sounds like
something that SS isn't forced to do, something he can say no at any
minute to.

So that's it. Any idea on what DD was asking SS to do, taking for
granted that he'd do it?
