Alla:

KNeasy, if I had "direct canon", I would have given it to you in my 
reply.

So, far it is just a speculation, but as far as I can see entirely 
reasonable one based on:


1. There is no canon exists that Sirius was not punished either, only 
that he was not expelled (as I said earlier)
So, guesses in both sides have equal validity.


2. Snape does have a conscience (very deep inside), because he left 
Voldie.


Besides, I forgot the most important thing. You meant Snape trusting 
Dumbledore when he came back to teach, right? (Sorry, I honestly got 
confused)


Well, by that time, Snape is in Dumbledore debt already. He vouched 
for him at the trial, he most likely saved him from Azkaban.

I would say it is not even a question of trust, it is a question of 
debt. (don't know whether a life one, but definitely a debt)
