Alla:

That's chronology question. I am saying that Dumbledore would need 
dramatic reason to trust Snape "sorry" that if nothing else, plot 
will require it.

I think IF Snape is on DD side, he did something that convinced DD 
that Snape is not on DE side and if DD simply believed that Snape is 
sorry, without having some kind of proof, well then my opinion of his 
intelligence would go further down.

Does it make sense? Are you saying that DD valued Snape friendship 
still when Snape went to serve Voldy and that is what caused him to 
trust that Snape is sorry?

Um, there are many things happening in legal system Pippin that I 
think should not happen, just as there are many things in Potterverse 
that I HOPE will not happen the way they would happen in legal system.

And Harry getting the reasons of why DD trusted the man who had a 
hand in delivering his parents to Voldemort ( as I see it) is one of 
those things.

By the way, how do you know that Wisengamot sealed Snape's records?

Is there a reference that people are not allowed to talk about his 
past after those GoF proceedings?

I am drawing a big blank right now, so I am sure you could help me 
with it. :)
Did Wizengamot delivered a "non guilty" verdict  to Snape? Is voting 
shown? Ugh, must reread that chapter.

>From what I remember right now to me the implication was more like 
that Snape was given parole on DD word that he produced the evidence.

In any event, YES, I think Harry deserves to know.

JMO,
