Remorseful Snape or Recruiting Dumbledore:

With no time to re-read the series yet again ( as I have been busy 
reading every post I missed after being away for 1 month ;0)  I 
wonder just how Snape shows his remorse and how this makes 
Dumbledore trust him 
- We know Snape heard part of the prophecy
- We know Voldemort used this information and chose the Potters as 
his victims rather than the Longbottoms.
- we know Dumbledore trusts Snape completely
-we know that Snape hates James Potter

It is speculated that: 
-Snape had some feelings for Lily Potter 
-He sees himself as an accomplice in her death 

What is the believable scenario: Snape lost control and his life 
turned into the WW equivelent of a "Lost Weekend"  and DD finds 
Snape lying in Spinners End surrounded by empty bottles of Fire 
Wiskey....or did SS "return"  (HBP- 513 Canada Scholastic) and throw 
himself prostrate at Dumbledores feet begging forgiveness and 
remorse. 
 Did DD convince SS that to atone for his evil life he must turn to 
the good side and be the double agent at the risk of his own life.
Also: 
How can he stand to have Peter P. living with him....HE was the 
secret keeper and despite S giving volemort the info, It wouldn't 
have mattered if P had  not gone to volemort with the info as well.  
Two halfs of the same evil deed.

Lots of questions and few answers.  Sorry:<
