Alla:

It seems to me that the problem is the answer which I can give is not 
going to be satisfactory for you, 
so I guess there is no reason to wait for it, and no concentrating 
all his efforts on protecting students and **not** protecting 
somebody who swore to finish him off if Draco fails ( we do remember 
what is that UV that Dumbledore supposedly is obligated to protect 
Snape dear from - Snape dear agrees to fulfill Dumbledore's death 
warrant), is not inaction, but exactly the action which I would want 
him to take.

Let me repeat it -

Dumbledore. Should. Not. Have. Taken. UV. In consideration. At all.

and let Snape to his fate, if that means death, too bad.

Maybe in another life he would think twice before taking UV to finish 
off his mentor.

I believe that there was quite a chance that Dumbledore could have 
persuaded Draco to take the deal he offers him on the Tower, in fact 
without DE around, I believe he would have more chances.

So I believe in my hypothetical the only one for whom things 
definitely look grim is Snape ( although anything can happen, but 
everybody else had a pretty good chance of beating tough luck, 
everybody but Snape)

JMO of course,

Alla, who has no problem with anybody finding her answers 
unsatisfactory, but who absolutely finds problematic the implication 
that I do not suggest any course of action for Dumbledore when mine 
just ignores the fate of Snape dear.
