zgirnius:
I believe Snape is DDM, so I have not really thought through other 
scenarios. Especially if he is still bound by the Vow, I think Snape 
can hint to Draco and/or Narcissa that they should be approaching the 
Order for help. Draco now even has independent reason to believe 
this, due to Dumbledore's offer of protection for him and his family.
