Except of course there is that "murder splits the soul" assertion in 
canon and a question whether Dumbledore would have asked **anyone** 
especially one of his own to split that soul, benefits for WW or 
not, necessity to save other people or not.

And of course the question for mebecomes even bigger whether 
Dumbledore would have asked especially Snape, whose soul 
theoretically is already damaged by the previous membership in DE 
club to do so.

If Dumbledore supposedly did **everything** he could to save Draco 
soul during the HBp to prevent him from becoming a murderer, the 
question arises for me does he value Snape's soul so little?

But really it all comes down for me to how you see Dumbledore. If 
you believe that Dumbledore indeed would have asked that of Snape, 
then sure the theory stands strong.

JMO,
