I would go further than other people and say that Dumbledore *likes* 
him a lot and that there's a genuine friendship between the two.  I 
think the dynamics between D and Snape is very interesting and 
complex.  Of course, it depends on your definition of 'like'.
D hasn't got rid of Snape even though he could have at the end of 
PoA, so I take it that he would be here to stay, unless one of them 
dies.
I have the impression that Dumbledore is bemused by Snape's obsession 
like Hagrid's obsession with monsters. (I wonder whether Hagrid ever 
asked to 'study' Lupin after he got over the initial shock.  No 
wonder Lupin is in a hurry to leave ... (j/k).
