LOL, Aline, first, you haven't read any of angua9's essay, have you: She is the BEST EVER at these kind of things! ;) But thank you so much! I just hope nobody snag's this as their idea! ;)
Second, you can write in portuguese if you want, but since you replied in English and reminded me of a IMPORTANT thing I forgot to mention, I'm going to reply in English:
As much as Dumbledore says that he can makes mistakes and that, being the brilliant man that he was, when he makes mistakes they are HUGE, I don't think he made a mistake with Snape.
Halfway through the book, Hagrid let slip that Dumbledore and Snape had fought over something that Dumbledore wanted Snape to do, and he didn't want to. And then, when Snape killed Dumbledore, we see his face contorted with rage. Not to mention that Dumbledore was PLEDGING with Snape - the same Dumbledore that earlier in the books said that death is nothing but the next great adventure.
To me, Dumbledore knew since the beginning that Draco's mission was to kill himself - he actually said that when confronting Draco - and he knew about the Unbreakable Vow Snape had done. So, either Draco killed Dumbledor, or Snape killed Dumbledore, or nobody killed Dumbledore but Snape died because of the UV and Draco was killed by Voldemort. BUT is Snape killed Dumbledore...all doubts that he was a spy would be gone from Bellatrix's, the remaining DE's and Voldemort's mind...and they would not only still have a very reliable spy, but also one very close do Voldemort. So, Dumbledore decided that he would have to be sacrificed.
That would explain why Dumbledore and Snape fought - Snape *never* denied anything Dumbledore order him to do. When Dumbledore was pledging with Snape, was to be killed - and he probably would have died because of that potion anyway - and the rage in Snape's face was at what he had to do.
That's also why he was so fed up at Hary when he called Snape a coward - he just had to do the most difficult thing in his life, kill the man that not only forgiven his past mistakes, but also trusted him and gave him a place to be.
Incidentally, I do think his regret came when Lily and James were killed because he loved Lily. :)
