How about exactly what went down - unbreakable vow and all? I.e.
voldemort finds out (from draco or not) about the cabinet, manipulates
Bellatrix and Narcissa into having Snape do the unbreakable vow, makes
sure that Draco is feeling too much pressure and can't do it himself,
etc, etc, etc.

After all, all that is supported in the text, being as it's what _happened_.

And it's apparently not such a bad plan, since it did end up in
Dumbledore's death. For those who want DDM!Snape, suppose Dumbledore
also just happened to come up with the exact same plan with the
intention of getting Snape in good with the DE's, and since he was
already dying from the ring and the potion from the cave it's no big
loss, plus he didn't really die anyway and this gives him time to go
into hiding and recover, etc, etc, etc.
