colebiancardi:  Not that I believe that Pince is Snape's mother or
anything, but where does Dumbledore state that Snape's return was due
in some way to his regret over Voldemort's targeting of the Potters? 
I have found that DD stated Snape felt remorse over how Voldemort
interpreted the prophency and that DD believes it to be the greatest
regret of his life (The Seer Overheard, HBP) and then we get the
reason that he returned --- bit was cut off by Harry.     I agree that
he regrets his actions, but I am not convinced that Snape's return was
solely due to that, because in GoF, DD tells Harry  that the reason
for his trust of Snape is between him and Snape--i.e. none of Harry's
business. If it was over the betrayal of Harry's parents, it would be
Harry's business, so there has to be something more that isn't any of
Harry's business to know about.
