True, but the whole book had kind of been leading up to him trusting Harry more. It seemed Dumbledore was even more tired and worn out in this book. Also, his almost losing his hand when he went to destroy the ring might have convinced Dumbledore that he needed help. And who better than the Chosen One?
I'm glad someone else saw it as Dumbledore pleading with Snape to kill him! I was talking about it with my mom (she's almost into Harry Potter more than I am)and she was siding with Harry. But later, when Harry catches up to Snape out in the field, it seemed to me like Snape was still trying to help him. Like when he told Harry to cast his spells nonverbally.
Of course I could've been reading things that way because I love Snape and hope he comes out alright. But I'm worried he's going to be the one to die in the next book.
