Don't forget that alot of these characters are teenagers. When was 
the last time you met a happy teenager? Snape obviously has alto of 
reason not to be happy, he's bitter and twisted over his past and his 
current position, that much is obvious. Dumbledore on the other hand 
seems to be happy no matter what the circumstances. This could just 
mean that he has alot of faith in the future, that everything will 
turn out ok, but it could mean that he know something we don't. Like 
the capabilities of the old crowd.
