OK, now this is the part I don't understand. WHY would Snape need to 
fake an AK? DD is dead - is it important that Snape use an AK to do it?

Further, since this theoretical non-verbal spell bears all the earmarks 
of an AK -- green flash, instant death -- would the DE witnesses not 
simply assume Snape had cast a non-verbal AK? Now THAT would impress them.
