I see no one has mentioned the biggest thing saying that Dumbledore is gone and the Snape did eliminate him: The nature of the Unforgiviable Curses. Unless I am mistaken, didn't Belatrix say in book 5 that in order to use a Unforgivable you had to truely mean it and would enjoy it? Snape is a gifted Occumen but thats a far cry from using a Unforgivable on the leader of the Order of the Phoenix. If Snape wasn't truly a follower of Voldemort, he wouldn't have been able to pull the Curse off.
Did anyone else notice this? Or am I mistaken in my rememberance of Unforgivable Curses?
Well, that sounds likely to be correct. Belatrix DID say that you truly needed to hate this "person" in order to succesfully curse them. I always thought Dumbledore was a bit off in believing Snape's load of "tish-tosh"
