I just  finished re-read the first 5 books in order to
have a better insight before  reading the sixth book. 
One thing that's confusing me most, how come  Dumbledore
trusted Snape so much and seems like ignoring the
statements  and facts that given by Harry, that Snape
is nothing more than a  treacherous member of the
order. What makes DD believes that Snape's is  worthed
every bit to be in the order and will protect the
order with all  his might.

Sherrie here:
 
We haven't yet been given the full reason why Dumbledore trusts Snape so -  
though the gods know, we've had plenty of speculation on it!  <g>
 
As to why he doesn't take Harry's word for things, well, Dumbledore has  
known Sev a LITTLE longer than Harry has, knows that Harry is as biased in his  
view of Snape as Snape is in his view of Harry - and has a knack for seeing  
inside people.  He's also got a VAST deal more life experience than Harry -  hero 
or no, Harry is still a young boy.  
 
Just my 2 Knuts - as ever, YMMV
