Who Trusts Snape?! (OofP spoilers)

No: HPFGUIDX 66922

> And DD made Tom Riddle the Head Boy

No he didn't~~ Prof. Dippet did. In fact, DD was the only one who had 
ever suspected Tom Riddle, Riddle himself said so.

> And DD thought SB was indeed the mass murderer. 

He might have not thought so he only had no evidence to prove SB 
wasn't indeed the murderer. Not even once did DD ever mention about 
the SB incident in canon. 

> DD didn't suss out the truth about Wormtail, who lived in his 
school 
> for almost three years as a rat, either. 

Wow, I agree with you that he wasn't so wise with Quirell, Lockhart 
(ESPECIALLY Lockhart), and maybe Hagrid. But saying he's a bad judge 
of character because he didn't know someone's pet rat was not indeed 
a rat ^^;;?? Where did it say in canon that DD even had a close look 
at rat!Wormtail?

> around Hogwarts for a couple years, hanging with his favorite 
> lycanthrope, who he was supposed to be watching carefully. 

You are getting off-track, this only means he wasn't 'monitoring' his 
students enough(probably deliberately so), it has nothing to do with 
whether or not he's a good judge of character or not.

> and he makes silly jokes and he likes lemon drops, can we trust 
> everything he says and everyone he trusts? 

No you can't *blindly* trust everything he says and everyone he 
trusts, though in terms of accuracy of judgement, can't you see while 
he isn't perfect he is at least quite good? At least no one was 
portrayed to be better at character-judging than him in the books.

> In short, I don't trust Snape at all. 

Why do you doubt him? I mean DD's evaluation aside... ignore me if 
you've already listed your reasons before. I only really wanted to 
correct you about DD making Riddle a prefect =P
