So, Snape has pressure twofold to kill Dumbledore, but his action is not a betrayal. Additionally, Snape makes the Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa Malfoy to keep Draco safe and complete his task - killing Dumbledore - if he couldn't. Earlier in the film, Harry walks in on the two of them talking and hears Snape tell Dumbledore that he asks too much - Snape didn't want to kill him. But it's revealed in "Deathly Hallows" that Dumbledore actually asked Snape to kill him, to spare Draco from the harm of succeeding (or failing) and to spare himself from torture at another Death Eater's hands. To Harry, this proves what he's believed all along: Severus Snape is loyal to Voldemort. This immediately backfires, however, when Snape flings the killing curse at Dumbledore. So in the climax, when Harry is watching Dumbledore's confrontation with the Death Eaters, he trusts Snape to take care of the problem and doesn't engage like he wants to. As Harry grows closer to Dumbledore this year, he tentatively sees Snape in a different light and a flicker of trust grows.
