SSSusan:
While I agree that Snape likely feels a huge debt to DD, I suspect 
the trust was there *already* by the point you're referring to.  
Remember, DD testifed that he had ALREADY come back to The Good 
Side.  Presumably Snape would not have done so if he did not trust 
DD!  In other words, if there was a problem w/ wanting to be with 
Voldy & the DEs, Snape still didn't have to come back to *DD*.  But 
he did.  And he did so in such a way that DD's trust in him appears 
absolute.

I'm sorry, but I don't think the reference to a debt is enough to 
explain it.  I think Kneasy's right--there has to be a REASON why 
Snape, who was surely profoundly disappointed & angry that DD didn't 
punish the Marauders after the prank, DID end up trusting DD enough 
to return to his fold.
