Neri:
Well, you have pointed out yourself that Lupin was awarded that kind of 
trust. So either we will have ESE!Lupin and Innocent!Snape, or we will 
have Loyal!Lupin and Guilty!Snape. Whichever of these happens we are 
assured that at least one character would justify trust awarded as a 
second chance, and thus Dumbledore's epitomness is guaranteed.
