Dumbledore's Trust in Snape

It seems strange that Dumbledore has some sort of blind trust in 
Snape, much like they are related or something. Perhaps Snape was 
Dumbledore's son and had some sort of teenage rebellion to join the 
Death Eaters. Then he later wised up and went to work for his dad at 
Hogwarts, though he still doesn't get the Dark Arts job probably as 
punishment or to resist temptation? However, he still sticks around 
as penance to Dumbledore and will do whatever he can to help his 
father. I mean, Dumbledore had to have some kind of life outside the 
school, and being the son of one of the teachers there would have had 
to make Snape ambitious to separate himself somehow...well, whatever 
you think, it's food for thought...
