Potioncat:
That's how it looks--pre DH. And maybe, at first, that's what DD 
wanted. But after he knew the DEs were in Hogwarts, he still wanted 
Snape. I'm not sure why DD went to the Astronomy Tower instead of the 
main entrance. It would have been closer to Snape. Unless of course, 
he was setting the scene for Snape's role. A shorter answer would 
have been "Me too." or even "I don't know."

Potioncat:
I think it was brought up, but not for long. After going through 
Sirius isn't really dead. Dumbledore isn't really dead....I think we 
finally caught on. The pattern was set, and the glazed eyes sort of 
sealed it. 

That isn't to say that some fans haven't worked out a way to keep 
Snape alive. ;-)
