Exactly! It would make Dumbledore not only more human but also more 
belieable as a character AND a good role model for the readers. If 
he- the greatest of all wizards- once made a big mistake but managed 
to turn out well in the end, everyone could at least try. I love that 
idea and I also think that the reason why Dumbledore trusts Snape so 
much doesn't have to be some drastic thing, it could be this tad of 
recognisation that makes him willing to give Snape a second chance. 
Not only Snape for that matter- Albus Dumbledore is well known for 
his second chances and it most certainly could have something to do 
with the fact that someone, somewhere in his very mysterious past, 
gave him one. 

Oh, the depth of the meaning above would be very strong if this is 
true. Beacause everyone trusts Dumbledore, everyone believes in his 
goodness and intelligence and they do this despite his past.
