The author forgets that Dumbledore had already asked Snape to kill him in order to protect Malfoy from having to break his soul - we find this out in book 7 (The Deathly Hollows) and happened almost immediately after Dumbledore had cursed himself by putting on Thomas Marvolo's ring, which was both a horcrux and a deathly hollow. Therefore, Snape's taking the unbreakable vow was in complete agreement with Snape's reluctant agreement with Dumbledore.
Bellatrix was jealous of the faith and trust Voldemort put in Snape and she didn't trust him. She was hoping to expose him as a traitor and loyal to Dumbledore. She expected he'd refuse the vow exposing himself. If he accepted either he'd carry it out and protect her nephew ridding her master of his greatest foe, or he'd die and she'd have no competition for her master's favorite. There were no downsides for her. What she didn't know was Dumbledore was already dying and had made Snape promise to kill him to spare Draco from irrevocably turning down a dark path.
14:10 Ironic, Dumbledore's death at the hands of someone he trusted also fit perfectly into Dumbledore's plans. It's not often that an event is beneficial to two opposing enemies.
If Snape refused to help Draco, he could easily say, "I was following your orders, m'Lord" Bellatrix would not have had influence here, were she to tattle on Snape's failure to support Narcissa.
Snape had already agreed to kill Dumbledore if Draco couldn’t do it so his agreement to take the unbreakable vow wasn’t him just doing it for the heck of it.
If Draco Malfoy had killed Dumbledore, he would have created a horcrux right? But since he didn't though and Professor Snape did, wouldn't Professor Snape have a horcrux then? Or would he have to create one from his soul? I've been wondering about that for a long time. Why didn't Professor Snape create a horcrux after killing Dumbledore?
Killing someone does not automatically create horcrux. It is just a pre-requisite to create one since murder is an act of abomination that rips someone's soul. After killing someone, you have to perform an incantation in order to conceal your ripped soul away from your body and into the intended object. Also, it was explained in Book 7 that Snape killing Dumbledore does not rip his soul, because him killing Dumbledore is not due to some ill motive.
I wish you'd stop talking about Snape's love for Lily. Snape wanted to possess her, and he was willing to use force to bind her to him. Voldemort told Snape he would spare Lily if it was not too inconvenient, and he would return with he to deliver her into Snapes arms, and he was fine with that! Imagine if, out of fear Lily had stepped aside and allowed Voldemort to kill Harry. While horrifying for most, it is likely what he expected to happen. Had she done so, Voldemort would likely have spared her, but he would have also back to Snape, as his sex slave. If Snape had truly loved Lily he would have raced to Dumbledore as fast as he could in the hope that Dumbledore could have moved the Potters hiding place before Voldemort arrived. Such a betrayal would have certainly gotten Snape killed, but if you love someone, you'd be willing to die for them, even if they never learned of your sacrifice. Snape didn't change sides out of grief or a realization that he was on the wrong side. He turned to Dumbledore out of anger, because Voldemort broke his "promise" (and it was a promise, in Snapes mind, not a half ass maybe it was in reality) to get Lily for him. It's disgusting if you ask me. Yes, Snape was incredibly brave. Yes, Snape was a hero. Yes Snape did the right thing in the end, but his motivations for his heroic actions was far from pure.
Many people are very selfish when it comes to love. Why should Snape have ensured the safety of the whole family if he only cared about Lily and thus got rid of James and Harry through Voldemore? Especially in love, many people go to extreme lengths to get rid of annoying competitors as long as they get the person they want in return. Of course, there is also the ideal love, where someone sacrifices themselves without hesitation, even if they gain nothing or even only harm from it or even deliberately harm others as long as the person they love is doing well as a result, but that tends to be the minority.
Perhaps you need to re-read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; especially the part in the final battle when Harry looks in the Pensieve at Snape's memories. Snape turns to Dumbledore the moment he realises that Voldemort believes Harry to be the boy the prophesy talks about. When Snape went to tell Voldemort about the part of the Prophesy he overheard, he did not know which boy the prophesy referred to, as it could have equally referred to Neville Longbottom. And while Snape did ask Voldemort to spare her, he also went to Dumbledore to ask him to protect all three Potters, and promised to spy on Voldemort for Dumbledore in return; at great personal risk to him. When Lily died he continued working with Dumbledore to protect Harry. I don't think this is as clear in the film as it is in the book. In fact the entire final battle was much better in the book than it was in the film, if you ask me.

Snape had already promised Dumbledore that he would kill him before he made the unbeatable vow.
Right? It’s not like snape was agreeing to kill dumbledore out of the goodness of his heart.
Unbreakable u mean smuggy 😅

Hi! Is there a chance that Narcisa had knowledge or talent in Occlumency?
