Best Answer

Albus Dumbledore was killed by Severus Snape. Although Dumbledore, who was dying anyway, had already arranged for Snape to kill him so that Draco Malfoy wouldn't have to and so that the Elder wand would not change masters. However, as Draco disarmed Dumbledore shortly before his death that part of the plan did not work.

Dumbledore was supposed to be killed by Draco Malfoy, but Draco was unable to do it. Therefore, Snape does it for him. Snape had promised Dumbledore and Narcissa Malfoy that he would do this task when the time came. However, it was unknown to everyone else that Dumbledore was in on this plan with Snape.

Yes. Draco Malfoy was supposed to kill him, but he couldn't, so Snape kills Dumbledore instead.

We later learn this was arranged.
