On the I dont trust Snape wagon:
Notice I did not say I hate Snape..... Reasons for not trusting Snape:
1)The Occulency lessons.
  A)They only made it worse for Harry to stop dreaming.
  B)Snape stopped the lessons.  And I dont care if Harry looked in 
Snapes Pensieve. Snape is the adult! If he really was helping the 
order he would have gotten over it.
2)IMO, Sanpe dragged his feet in finding out if Sirius was indeed 
alright, and finding Harry and Hermione in the forest.
We saw what James did to Snape, but we have no idea what Snape did to 
James.  Its obviously a 2-way street. There is something just too 
fishy about Snape.
