There is only one thing I can think of which might possibly explain DD's 
fierce loyalty to Snape and that is for Snape to have completely, and 
without reservation, opened his mind to DD and allowed him to "rummage 
around in there".   That would've given DD the chance to determine Snape's 
innocence/motives/truth for himself.   For a person as secretive as Snape, 
that would be a huge concession - something DD would've understood.

My dogs have voiced no opinion on the subject.  ;)
