Now Paula:

Good point!  I'm rereading OotP now, and just noticed what may turn out to be a significant hint.  In the Bloomsbury First Edition, pp 480-81 , Algernon (actually Augustus) Rockwood is reported in the "Daily Prophet" as escaped from Azkaban.  He went to prison for leaking Ministry Secrets to He Who Must Not Be Named.  Rockwood is described as having greasy hair.  Now, how many times does JKR remind us of Snape's greasy hair?  Is there a possible family connection here?  Is it possible that DD does indeed trust that Snape has reformed, but his trust can only go so far if Snape has a family member still in cahoots with LV?  One of the big things that fuels Snape's anger is DD's refusal to let him teach DADA.  Also, when Snape visits the Black house to meet with Harry,  Sirius, a fellow OotP member,  confronts him with the fact that he still doesn't believe that Snape has reformed, no matter what DD thinks.   I'm with you Laura, we still haven't scratched the surface.
