Bart:
However, JKR LOVES to have readers conflate things which are really separate (or, more precisely, trick them into jumping to conclusions). For example, Snape's remorse may be the reason he switched sides, but may not be (and, in my opinion, is almost certainly not) the reason why DD trusts him.
