Carol, I love that you looked at the imagery. Yes, it would seem to be very dark magic.

However, I feel that if Snape had taken the UV with Draco's mother and told DD all about it, there is no need to make another UV with Dumbledore. the vow was to kill DD. I think DD wanted Snape to do it so Draco would not fracture/harm his soul. he wanted to keep Draco innocent of such a crime against nature and since Snape has probably killed before (or is simply older) Snape could afford to commit the murder.

I guess I'm agreeing with you, Carol, just with different reasoning.
