Further proof of Snapes innocence: even Voldemort believes him to have turned to the good side. When he returns in Goblet of Fire, he says something along the lines of: "One who is too cowardly to return, one who I believe has left me forever, and one who is my greatest servant." Surely Karkaroff (sp) is the cowardly one, and Crouch is his greatest servant, so that means Voldemort believes Snape has left him forever.
I also believe the theory that Dumbledore drank living death draft in that cave in book six, making him appear dead. He will return for the last battle with Voldemort I reckon.

But to perform an unforgivable curse, you have to mean it. Since Snape is a good guy, he did not mean it.
Rowling said something to the Effect of:" "Someone will die in Book Six". I'm sure she didn't mean Amelia Bones. 😬
I'm sticking with the "Dumbledore is dead and he was begging Snape to Kill him to stay in Voldie's Good Books, As A Spy", Or something to that Effect.
