Did DD tell Anyone Else Why He Trusts Snape?

Does anyone besides me wonder if DD told anyone the truth about why he 
trusts Snape?  I personally think it's more than him being sorry that 
he was the one who set LV on Lily and James (Haven't figured it out 
yet, of course).

But my point is:  isn't it rather risky for DD to keep that info all to 
himself?  Looks like he could have told Harry, if no one else.  If 
anyone deserves to know, it's Harry.

Like some of you, I'm wondering if DD's brother Aberforth is alive and 
masquerading as the barkeeper at the Hog's Head.   In OOP it stated 
that Tom looked vaguely familiar to Harry and then nothing more was 
mentioned about that.  Wasn't Aberforth in the picture of the Order 
that Moody thrust on Harry in OOP, well before before the "vaguely 
familiar" reference?  Even if Tom isn't Aberforth, Aberforth seems a 
likely confidant for DD, if we can find him!

Anyway, I digress.  DD always seems to be such a meticulous planner, I 
just can't believe that no one besides DD and Snape knows the real 
reason.  But, I think we can count out all of the members of the Order 
that were at Hogwarts when the school was attacked  -- they didn't seem 
to know.
