Spoiler: I am on the fence as to whether or not Dumbledore is really dead or not. I am fairly certain, unless they found a loop hole in the oath, that Snape was bound by the curse to kill Dumbledore.
It is possible that he spoke to Dumbledore about this oath and that they made a plan together, a plan that would see Snape drawn into Voldemort's side as his favourite.
Potter gets to kill Voldemort with Snape's assistance but more imortantly he gets to learn how to forgive Snape for his past actions. A powerful ending...
If Dumbledore is still alive I think a) he did die for a little while (deals with the oath), b) he and Snape worked this out in advance, c) I live the theory above that has him transfigure into a phoenix - very symbolic and d) this will not be revealed until very late in the final book.
