Doddie  here:

I do not think she was misleading at all.  DD doesn't say he  trusts 
Snape with his life as he does with Hagrid...He states that he  trusts 
Snape!


 
Julie says:
 
In HBP Harry questions once again why DD trusts Snape, DD
pauses as if he is thinking about revealing more to Harry, then 
DD says "I trust Severus Snape completely." 
 
I think DD using the word "completely" is an affirmation of the
same kind of total (blind) trust DD implies when he says "I trust 
Hagrid with my life." So I'm not seeing a lot of difference in 
the kind of trust DD places in Snape and Hagrid.
