Easiest? So rather than simply hand over a bottle of his own memories
to Snape to give to Harry at the proper time Dumbledore proceeded to
lie to Snape for years because he figured Harry would someday stumble
upon the man seconds before his death and Snape would agree to give
Harry all his memories. It seems to me people are going through some
pretty wild contortions to avoid the simple fact that Dumbledore had
raised Harry for 17 years so he could be slaughtered like a pig. And I
don't see why you even want to turn him into another routine 100% good
guy when it would be much more interesting if Dumbledore loved Harry
and wished there was a way to avoid his death but couldn't think of
one. Generals in a time of war do things like that all the time for
the greater good.

Voldemort was injured in that attack, besides destroying the Horcrux
inside Harry Voldemort was knocked unconscious for just as long as
Harry was. The reason Voldemort was just injured and not killed in the
attack is that he still had one Horcrux left, the snake; and the
reason Harry was just injured and not killed is because Voldemort was
still alive. If the snake had been dead as Dumbledore expected that
encounter would have produced very different results.
