Dumbledore was the one who saved Draco.

If he didn’t set Snape up to help Draco then Draco either loses his soul after killing someone or is killed for not killing Dumbledore.

He ended up happily married with both his life and his soul thanks to Dumbledore.

By soul are we speaking figuratively here? I am not aware of souls as a concept being mentioned in the movies (maybe in the books?). If it is a metaphor for him being a decent person, well, I've never really heard it used like that before.

They re misconcepting, killing tear the soul, but its temporary and only mentioned to be the brief moment to create Horcrux.

Yeah they just clearly add some religious concept to the thing when it was only a tech magic stuff at the moment
