This sounds like Dumbledore's sacrifice on the lightning-struck tower.
Earlier in HBP, Dumbledore said that Harry's blood was more valuable
than his own. On the tower, Dumbledore had Snape kill him, in a gambit
that made Snape's position with Voldemort secure, while making sure
Harry could carry on.
