I agree to a certain point. But there are circumstances to consider. The Dark Lord had put the mission in Draco's hands, for reasons of his own, more probably to kill the boy and punish Lucius for the DoM fiasco. And then Severus makes a UV about a mission supposed to be for Draco. It could have soothed Bellatrix suspicions, but it may not mean the Dark Lord will be happy about being disobeyed, or his Death Eaters taking vows on mission he had planned. As Dumbledore said, even those who think are his friends and confidants do not share his trust at all. Also, the Dark Lord does not strike me as a person who appreciates initiative and independent thinking. He wants minions, not fellowmen. So, although I agree Snape will be trusted from now on, I am not sure he will be welcomed with open arms by the Dark Lord.

Oh, BTW, I pity Draco. I am convinced his reception in the fold will be far from warm - not to mention very dangerous, bordering deadly. I trust Snape - Oh, and I also trust Snape will try to protect him, to his best.

See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/135425 for Leslie41's post that brilliantly argued as how Rowling doesn't want us to peg Snape as ESE. There is the crucial comparison of the PoA scene and the Tower scene. Bow to you.
