Betsy Hp:
I really, really doubt that Dumbledore's trust is based on such a 
gimmicky thing.  

In Battlestar Galactica (totally awesome show) Adm. Adama (totally 
awesome character played by the unbelievably awesome Edward James 
Olmos) is sending a former enemy on a crucial mission.  The future 
of the human race rides on her being trustworthy.

Before heading off, she asks Adama, "How do you really know that you 
can trust me?"

And he answers, "I don't.  That's what trust is."

I know that we're going to have to have some sort of scene that 
shows us the moment Dumbledore realizes he really can trust Snape 
completely.  But I think it's going to have to be something that 
gives Dumbledore an insight, or an understanding, of who exactly 
Snape is.

If it's all based on a magical vow, or a magical life debt, or some 
other gimmick or test, than Snape isn't Dumbledore's man, he's 
Dumbledore's dog.  He's not someone Dumbledore trusts; he's someone 
Dumbledore controls.  I cannot see JKR taking that route.
