Alla:

Now, that is a totally different question.

Sure, I would not put it past Snape to try fulfill UV to save 
himself, since I believe this is exactly what he did.

Hmmm, if Dumbledore was weakened then indeed he may have problems 
duelling with Snape, but do you remember all debate about Spinner End 
and what is what Snape tells Bella is true and what is not.

Was Dumbledore really that weakened after MoM? Or was it a story?

The bottom line is YES that is the only reason I can see that 
Dumbledore may have to do something about UV - as in to prevent Snape 
from trying it, although honestly there is so much uncertain factors 
here, that I am not even sure.

The time frame after all is absent, so maybe it will not activate at 
all.

OR if it does activates and Dumbledore is not within walking distance 
from Snape at the moment it is activated ( say Draco accepts the 
protection), does Snape die at this very second or not?

Because if he does, all that Dumbledore needs is to take conversation 
with Draco far far away from Snape.

Just speculating of course,

Alla.
