Snape killed Dumbledore because:

1. Dumbledore was already dying.

2. Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him.

3. If Snape didn't kill Dumbledore, Draco would have had to and Dumbledore didn't want Draco's soul ripped apart on his behalf.

4. Snape made an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa Malfoy that he would kill Dumbledore if Draco failed to do so.

5. It would land Snape firmly in Voldemort's good books so that Hogwarts would be under the control of Snape and not the Carrows.

6. If J.K. Rowling hadn't killed Dumbledore somehow, the final battle would be postponed for too long.

Did Snape serve only Lord Voldemort?

Yes and No. Right before the fall of the Potters and Voldemort, Snape switched to being in the service of Dumbledore. After Voldemort fell, Snape was used by Dumbledore to keep a lookout in case of Voldemort's return, as well as to keep an eye on the remaining Death Eaters not in jail. Once Voldemort returned, Dumbledore had Snape serve Voldemort, yet he was to rely the info back to Dumbledore. Snape being a servant of Dumbledore is very easy to miss in the books and the movies.

Because Severus Snape is refereeing the game, and he thought that in the match before, Snape had been cursing his broom, so with Dumbledore watching, he thinks that Snape won't do anything while Dumbledore is watching.
