In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Bellatrix Lestrange and Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy visit Snape at his ramshackle house on Spinner's End street, located in a nearly deserted Muggle slum. Snape swears an Unbreakable Vow to Narcissa that he will protect Draco, help him complete Voldemort's task, and finish the task himself if Draco fails. At Hogwarts, Snape is finally appointed to his coveted teaching post, Defence Against the Dark Arts. Replacing him as Potions instructor is Horace Slughorn. One day, Hagrid overhears Snape arguing with Dumbledore, saying that Dumbledore took "too much for granted", and that there was something that he was no longer willing to do. Dumbledore insists that it was agreed and must be done.
Returning to Hogwarts after a search for one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Harry and Dumbledore see the Dark Mark in the sky over the astronomy tower. Dumbledore asks Harry to fetch Snape, when Draco Malfoy suddenly arrives. Harry is already concealed under his Invisibility Cloak, but Dumbledore immediately acts to prevent him taking any action, by paralysing him with a spell. Draco intends to carry out Voldemort's orders to kill Dumbledore, but Dumbledore manages to persuade him not to. They are interrupted again by the arrival of some Death Eaters and Snape. When it is clear that Malfoy will not kill Dumbledore, Snape uses the Avada Kedavra curse, causing Dumbledore's body to fall from the tower. (Contrary to considerable fan speculation, Rowling has confirmed that Dumbledore is definitely 'dead'.[3]) Snape, Malfoy, and the Death Eaters rush from the castle, pursued by Harry (released from his magical paralysis after Dumbledore's death). Harry's attempts to attack Snape are ineffective; Snape easily blocks every spell and even taunts Harry by pointing out the mistakes he makes when fighting magic. However, he becomes enraged after Harry calls him a coward and attacks with spells Snape had created (just as Harry's father once did). Snape is injured by Buckbeak before disapparating into the night with Draco and the Death Eaters.

Snape cursed Dumbledore to death and knocked the old wizard off a tower while Harry and some bad guys who had attacked Hogwarts looked on after Dumbledore was weakened by drinking some poison. Snape got to be up there with some of the most evil characters in literature, I can't off hand think of too many others worse.
I can't believe she killed off Dumbledore, I mean he was, next to Harry one of the stars of the series. It just didn't seem right to kill off the main good guy, and let a little weasel like Snape be the one to do it. I hope she has the sense to bring him back in the last book.

Snape killed Dumbledore with Avada Kadavra curse, but i think there something curiosity. Because Dumbledore believe with him, maybe Dumbledore order to Snape to use that curse for saving Draco Malfoy. Or maybe because Snape bound with Narcissa Malfoy ( promised to protected Draco ) and if Snape cannot do that he will die, so did he have any choice for it ? But as you know Snape is good ... good... good occlumens so not easy to know what did he think. So for the true reason why Snape killed Dumbledore, i suggest you to buy next Harry Potter book.
