Snape didn't make the Unbreakable Vow

No: HPFGUIDX 161643

All the debate about whether Snape knew what Narcissa was going to ask
him to do, whether the third request caught him off guard,
etc.....it's all moot. It doesn't matter what Narcissa requested of
him, or if Snape knew through Legilimency what she was up to, is
irrelevant.
The Vow was invalid.
JKR specifically tells us that Snape and Narcissa "grasped right hands"
(HBP p. 36) and makes sure we notice that Snape's hand twitches.
That twitch is not random - it is there so we look carefully at this
scene. Think of all the debate this scene has caused, with one side
saying it proves that Snape is really Voldemort's right-hand man, and
others claiming it proves that Snape is Dumbledore's right-hand man.
Snape isn't ANYONE'S right-hand man.
He is left-handed. Go back and re-read all the books and notice how
the words "left" and "opposite side" are constantly juxtaposed with
Snape's name.
The Vow was not made with his wand hand.
Ergo, it was never made at all.
