snape made a unbrackable vow to Draco malfoys mother and by doing so swore to do anything in his power to help Draco, Draco's mission was to lead the death eaters into hogwarts and Draco himself must kill dumboldore, he found he could not kill him so snape killed him for Draco.

Actually, Snape had already promised Dumbledore that he would kill him, for Dumbledore was already dying, so instead of having Draco ( who has never killed anyone) have this sin on his hands, dumbledore had pre-decied that snape would be the one to kill him. Snape was dumbledores man through and through so there was no way that if dumbledore had not had asked snape to kill him, snape would never have gone through with the unbreakable vow. Dumbledore was always steps ahead of everyone and know that his death was coming, so he choose the time and manner of his death.

Snape kills dumbledore as a favor to dumbledor. For he'd been cursed by the horcrux ring so he only had but a year to live. snape also did it to keep malfoys soul intact,to protect the kids of hogwarts and keep voldemort thinking snape is on his side.

He died when Severus Snape used Avada Kedavra on him in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It turned out that Snape killed Dumbledore upon Dumbledore's request.

Snape then begged Dumbledore to help protect her. In return Snape was to suggest to Voldemort that he pretend to join the Order of the Phoenix as a spy, in reality he was spying on the Death Eaters for the Order and only passing on select information to Voldemort.He was killed by snape under the orders of both voldemort and dumbeldore himself.

What is the significance that Harry Potter has his mother's eyes?

There is no real significance it is simply a trait that many people noticed about Harry that knew his mother. == Severus Snape and James Potter hated each other. However, Severus loved Lily Potter and was racked with guilt over his part in her death. Harry looked just like James and every time Snape looked at Harry he was reminded of all the awful things James did to him. Due to this Snape was never able to form a positive relationship with Harry. The exception to Harry's resemblance with James did not include his eyes. Harry had Lily's eyes. This was a constant reminder to Snape of his guilt and of what Voldemort could do. No matter how Snape felt about Harry, it was Lily's eyes that kept Snape committed to Harry and what he had to do to protect him and help him defeat Voldemort at any cost.
