Pippin:
I'm honored to be asked, though I may be a bit jet-lagged.
However, you've got a better witness than me, luv. 
"Harry reached out,straightened the half-moon spectacles upon
the crooked nose, and wiped a trickle of blood from the mouth 
with his own sleeve."

That trickle of blood is either the biggest Flint this side of
Everest, or our man Snape is outed. The curse didn't work. AK 
doesn't leave any sign. If it had stopped Dumbledore's heart then 
he wouldn't have bled. QED

Snape promised to carry out the deed Draco was expected to
do  "But he is determined that Draco should try first." So yeah,
he tried. And failed.
