Dumbledore is an overly optimistic judge of character. He always gives 
people the benefit of the doubt. It means that he gives jobs to 
incompetents like Lockhart, and that he assigns Snape to teach Harry 
Occulumency, when its really not a good idea.
So, if Dumbledore 'trusts Snape', yet does not trust him enough to let 
him teach DADA, and also realises he was wrong to trust Snape to teach 
Occulumency to Harry too, WHEN is he going to figure out that Snape is 
not actually to be trusted AT ALL?
Snape is unable to overcome his hatred for the Potters. I don't think 
that hatred of any kind is whats going to help Voldemort accept the 
peace of love, mortality and death.
