maybe it was irony at Buffy not considering her human anymore.
That's an interesting point; quite a few people, both in the comics and in fandom, differentiate between "humans" and Slayers/witches/etc. That line by Willow can easily be read ironically. If only they had actors reading these lines...
She then plots into making Buffy more determined, and not being someone who is rolled over mentally/philosically into doing twilight's bidding. Her solution to this is to destabilize Buffy earlier on, giving either Buffy more time to think, or else making sure that Buffy has "tells" that would warn younger!Willow. Henceh, orchastrates Buffy killing her.
But aside from the fact that TOYL just seemed to push Buffy further in the "let's do what Twilight wants" direction, wouldn't have been easier to just, well, tell Buffy?
