Snape not really a traitor?
Does this seem just as stupid to you as it does to me?

I didn't read that thread.

I think there's an excellent chance Snape is still working to defeat Voldemort.

Dumbledore and Snape were overheard arguing earlier in the story but the details (as is often the case) are unknown. I think it's fair to speculate that Dumbledore insisted that Snape remain true to his vow to Narcissa Malfoy in order to assure his place close to Voldemort. If that meant that even Dumbledore himself had to be sacrificed, then it was worth the cost.

Dumbledore pleading just before death was completly out of his nature. He would never plead for his life (showing cowardice and weakness). He had to be pleading for something else. I would guess that he was pleading with Snape to do something Snape didn't want to do- kill Dumbledore in order to save and eleveate his position with Voldemort (and also save the lives of the Malfoys).
