--Ronin's Comments--
I have the BEGINNINGS of a theory forming. This is based on my memory of
events from canon, but I haven't really hashed it all out yet, so I wanted
to put it out there for opinions from everyone.
We know (for the most part) what happened in GH that night. Lord Voldemort
tried to kill Harry, but failed when Lily sacrificed herself, thereby
killing the Dark Lord (Sort of) and transferring some of his powers and his
mark onto Harry. Harry was also given the power of the blood magic by his
mother's sacrifice.
In a way, Dumbledore sacrificed himself to protect Harry and Draco on the
tower. (Assuming that his death was foreseen and prepared for). Is it then
possible that Dumbledore could have used this event to try to transfer some
of his own power to Harry as well. Or maybe he transferred some power to
Severus. 
Dumbledore seemed to have more knowledge of these old magics than anyone
else and may have thought it was the best and final way he could help Harry
since he was growing old and his wand hand was not healing.
Transferring some of his power to Snape could have also been beneficial to
the order, now with Snape able to go even deeper into Lord Voldemort's camp.
Again, this is just a budding theory and I appreciate any theories or
comments anybody would like to add based on what we know.
 
Cheers,
Ronin
