Finwitch:

Is he now? I have yet to see that Hagrid, Ron, Hermione or Albus 
Dumbledore turn out to be bad. I don't think they will, either. He 
always knew that Dobby was on his side... Nor did Harry err in 
trusting Sirius.

As for Slughorn, Harry's 'not sure if he likes him too much.' Just 
like with Ollivander in PS.

As for Snape, well, he was a Death Eater; he killed Dumbledore while 
Harry bore witness...

I'd say Harry's doubts about him weren't all that groundless.
