I think there's another option: Harry distrusts Snape's allegiance
to the Order; Harry is instructed to do something for Snape or Snape
demands that he do something; Harry doesn't; Snape gets whacked;
Harry gets one of Dumbledore's sorrowful explanations about why he
should have listened and what Snape was up to; Harry is amazed but no
longer doubts Snape's loyalty, helped immeasurably by the fact that
Snape is dead and therefore Harry doesn't have to deal with him
anymore. It's amazing how death improves some people's characters.
