shhhh shame on you! Seriously, I recall there is an explanation. Still my question was indeed more about the actual moment of his death. I agree he was asking Snape to do it yes, but at the time of my first reading I thought the reasoning was different. Kare

Dumbledore had asked Snape to be the one to kill him when the time came, because he was already dying slowly from the curse from Gaunt's ring. Snape had argued with Dumbledore about it, saying he didn't want to kill him, or anybody. Dumbledore, I think, was begging Snape to please do what he had asked him to do, and kill him instead of Draco doing it, or someone else. > > >
