Hi,
  Here is my take on it.  I think that Snape was indeed trying to
protect Draco from doing the killing.  I believe that by killing
Dumbledore, Draco would have been in a "no turning back" point.  Not
to mention Snape promised Dracos mom.
  I also have some suspicion that maybe in some form Snape must have
confided in Dumbledore to some degree as to "what may happen" and it
was probably Dumbledore's wish to be defeated by Snape's hand rather
than Draco's.  Trying to protect the young type of thing.
  And, how do we know that Dumbledore is really gone for real?
Could this be a ruse that will turn around when Harry really needs
it to?
  Hmmmm...
