Snape's Trustworthiness

I'm not sure I agree JK made a mistake or didn't realise Snape's 
impact.  After all, if in book after book Harry & co suspect that 
Snape is bad only for him to be proved good, would it not get really 
silly?  You can only cry wolf so many times before people stop 
believing you.  I think the 'shift' towards Snape being seen as more 
firmly on the good side is simply that he has consistently proved 
himself to be, despite his many other faults.  Unless new information 
emerges showing that he's been a spy the whole time or something, the 
characters are accepting that fact for now - it's not because JK 
realised people liked Snape more than she expected or whatever.
