I mentioned this in another post but haven't found any responses to it 
yet (is that even possible with all these posts?).  Anyway, here is my 
thought on why Dumbledore trusts Snape unconditionally:  he was Snape's 
Occlumency teacher.  When Snape left the DE's to spy for Dumbledore he 
had to learn to close his mind to Voldemort's ability to read his 
betrayal.  In the learning process, Snape had to allow Dumbledore 
access to much of his mind and there Dumbledore learned undeniably of 
Snape's loyalty to him and the side of right.
