Not exactly. Didn't he and Dumbledore have several arguments about how he MUST do something he didn't want to do? That could well have been it, and someone else in the order may have known of the plan. Not entirely out of the question Killing Dumbledore himself also allows an out for Malfoy, who in his hesitation kinda points to his not being and evil prick in his own right, but that way because that's what mom and dad expect of him and have made of him. Better to sacrifice Snape and give Malfoy a way to distance himself from the other Malfoys (as sirius was an embarassment to most of the blacks).

So paul, mind PMing me your theory on RAB so I can compare notes?
