WARNING: may spoil book 7

Spoiler: Dumbledore died. Dumbledore is gone. Dumbledore knew that in order to live, Snape had to die -- and Snape's life mattered more.

Dumbledore knew Snape's oath. Dumbledore knew that Snape had to die, or kill Dumbledore. Dumbledore stated "there are worse things than death", and truely believes it.

That was what the "Please" was. "Please kill me, you are more important than I am". By killing Dumbledore, Voldemort will now trust Snape more than he trusts any other living being. But Voldemort has a weakness.

Voldemort does not understand love.

Remember the Occulmancy practice? Snape hid 3 memories from Potter, one of which Harry saw. In that memory, Harry saw James sadistically tormenting Snape, and Harry's mother protecting Snape from James.

Why was that memory hidden from Harry? Was it mere pride? I claim the 3 memories hidden in the pool during the Occulmancy practice where placed there because Snape dared not risk Vodemort seeing them. And Harry could not see them until he to was capable of defening his mind against Voldemort.

What about that memory could Snape not want Voldemort to know? That Snape has no reason to hate Lily, Harry's mother -- but rather, a reason to feel tender towards her. The other two memories probably contain evidence that is even more incriminating.

Snape loved Lily. Dumbledore saw the 3 memories that Snape hid from Potter, which convinced him of this love. Voldemort killed the love of Snape's life.

Snape feels hate for Harry because Harry is a reminder that the love of Snape's life fell for James, a complete asshole and jerk. Harry even looks like James, but has Lily's eyes -- it probably tears Snape up every time he looks at Harry. At the same time, Snape will not harm Harry, because Harry is the only thing of his love that is left.

Voldemort will be undone by love. Snape's love for Harry's mother.

And yes, Harry must die for Voldemort to die. Harry has a piece of Voldemort's soul in him. This is why there won't be a book after book 7, this is why Voldemort's death spells don't work on Harry, and why emotions and thoughts leak between them.

Snape has never harmed Harry. Snape has been hard on Harry, insulting to Harry, and mean to Harry. Shucks, Snape could have destroyed Harry -- look how easily he defended against Harry's attacks -- but even prevented the other Death Eaters from killing Harry at the end of the book.
