Been there, done that.
Suicide missions don't work in western culture.
I can't see JKR glorifying suicide in a children's book.
Especially with all that's going on in the Middle East right now.

...So lets go back to Dumbledor's situation. From his condition after drinking the potion in the cave I would say it is pretty clear he is not going to make it to the castle in time to get the help he needs. He knows he is dying... [/b]

The problem with that is that the events in the cave and any effect they had on Dumbledore could not have been a part of the plan. No one knew ahead of time what they would find in the cave, and Dumbledore had no way of telling Snape about it.
The only theory that works here is the one about Dumbledore's hand.
That the injury from the ring was fatal and that Snape somehow helped to postpone Dumbledore's death, for almost a year, but not forever.
I don't buy it. I find it too far-fetched.
