<very interesting post from Kneasy snipped, mainly
because I only want to answer his last question>

Juli:
Just like everything else we don't know about
Potterverse it's frustrating, we are all grown-ups
with jobs and busy schedules, and what do we do in our
spare time? We come up with theories about all our
unanswered questions. So, here's my theory:

Snape has to trust DD just like everyone else because
it's his only option, Snape was at Voldemort's side
and he switched sides, why? No idea. But he started
working for DD, the only wizard who had any chance of
vanquishing LV (before we or anyone knew about the
prophecy), Snape may know the prophecy (my bet is he
does), so he tries in his own special way to keep
Harry safe. Back to DD, he's fought LV for 20 years
(or something), he knows him better than anyone and he
knows what LV is up to. Anyway, before I go on and on,
here's my point: Snape trusts DD because he has to,
just like DD trusts him, trust is a two-way street.
