I missed this one because of the title change - I hope I can respond
to this too even though I just posted on the Eileen topic.

What about the reason Snape hates LV so much is because Snape figured
out that LV is responsible for something that has been done to Eileen?
What if Dumbledore trusts Severus Snape 'completely' because he knows
that Snape has been bent on revenge since he was a young man? Revenge
for what happened to his mother?

Snape doesn't seem like the 'help humanity' type. I bet he went into
potions and healing because he was trying to heal his mother. And I
bet his mother needs healing because, like Morfin Gaunt and Hepzibah
Smith, Eileen Prince had a relic Voldemort wanted. And like Morfin and
Hepzibah, Voldemort couldn't kill Eileen outright because he didn't
want the trail to lead to him. Tom Riddle didn't kill Morfin at
all...and if Eileen Prince IS in need of healing then I don't think
that Voldemort has the SLIGHTEST idea that Snape figured out Voldemort
was responsible.
