In the conversation you are referring to Snape and dumbledor stated that for Voldemort to die, Harry must also be killed (this is because both of them have a part of the other inside them, harry has a part of voldemort inside him because the original killing curse was reflected from lily onto voldemort and broke a fragment of his soul that latched onto harry giving him parseltongue and the connection to voldemort. Voldemort has a part of Harry inside him because he used harry’s blood to resurrect which made both nigh unkillable as long the other stayed alive ) This is completely proved by this statement in the books "'He said the protection my — my mother left in me — he’d have it too. And he was right — he could touch me without hurting himself, he touched my face.' For a fleeting instant, Harry thought he saw a gleam of something like triumph in Dumbledore's eyes. But next second, Harry was sure he had imagined it, for when Dumbledore had returned to his seat behind the desk, he looked as old and weary as Harry had ever seen him.” - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire This establishes the importance of harry’s sacrifice as well as something else evidenced by the “gleam of triumph” this gives dumbledor the fact that harry is teatherd to Voldemort making Voldemort something similar to a horcrux for harry so when he hit him with the second killing he didn’t die but that whole sacrificing him self shenanigan was important in killing Voldemort not because he actually needed to die but because the belief that he would sacrifice himself is the most important because after the “sacrifice” even tho he didn’t actually die he still made significant efects (weakening Voldemort to the point he couldn’t silence his followers using his magic or even harm any innocent people at hogwarts Dumbledore understood this. He knew that if Harry believed he was sacrificing himself to protect those he loved, the wizarding world would be protected from Voldemort. And he also knows because of the statement from the goblet of fire that Harry would survive any attempts at being killed by voldemort TLDR: dumbledor knew Harry wasn’t going to die
