D'oh.  It just hit me.  What if the mysterious reason Dumbledore trusts Snape is related to 
Fawkes.  Something similar to his words in CoS when he thanks Harry for showing "true 
loyalty" since nothing else would have called Fawkes to him.

So, perhaps when Snape spun that tale of deep remorse, Fawkes reacted in a way that 
assured Dumbledore that the remorse was genuine?  Or perhaps it was Fawkes who 
brought Snape back to Dumbledore when he told Dumbledore that the Potters and 
Longbottoms were in danger?
