In other words, Dumbledore had every

Potioncat:
But, Snape wouldn't have had to kill him at all, if Draco didn't make 
an attack himself. DD could have died from the poison, while Snape made 
a good act at trying to save him. He could then say to the Order I did 
my best; and to LV, I let him die.

Had DD's death happened something like that, no one would have been the 
master of the wand--by any stretch of the imagination, and Snape would 
not have been in danger from LV. Well, at least because of the wand.
