much worse would have happened if Snape hadn't kept the Unbreakable Vow. If Snape hadn't finished what Draco couldn't accomplish, then Snape would have died, Draco (and probably his whole family) would have been killed by Voldemort, and the other Death Eaters up in the tower would have killed Dumbledore, anyway.
I don't call that much worse, I call that one up on what actually happened or what I think will happen. Draco and his family are dead meat now, I'm positive. Voldemort was already pissed at Lucius, and now Draco has defied his orders. As far as I can see, there's no way out for all three of them. So their deaths have not really been avoided. Dumbledore dies either way, right? And as far as I'm concerned, I would rather have seen Snape ripped into tiny pieces than cause Dumbledore to go to his death pleading with him. Ugh. The bottom line is, Snape's choice was to murder Dumbledore in cold blood and live, or refuse and die. If their roles had been reversed, Dumbledore would have chosen the latter option.
And that is why I want nothing more than to see Snape eviscerated ASAP.
