What makes you think that Dumbledore doesn't like Snape?  Though
"like" isn't quite the word.  Snape obviously feels ties of
loyalty toward Dumbledore, in response, I think, to Dumbledore's
gift of (qualified) trust in him.  So no, I don't think
Dumbledore will "get rid of" Snape intentionally.  He might, of
course, lose him one way or another, which I think would grieve
him very much.
