Eloise:

Except that making the unbreakable vow in itself might have been a 
matter of choice. In fact, it might even have been a *request*: "Allow 
me to do this in order to prove my loyalty". I also don't think that 
Dumbledore would have demanded it, but I don't think it would be OOC 
for him to accept it. It could also be another element of the 'great 
personal risk' that Snape took in changing sides: no going back.
