Every time Harry started on Snape, his doubtful loyalties and
murky past what did she say to him? Come on, Harry, Dumbledore
trusts him, and Dumbledore knows best. But now this argument is no
longer valid, is it? Dumbledore has been proved wrong.

Lynda:

Has he been then? Irrevocably? There is more to the story, after all, that
we readers have not yet knowledge of. Yes. It may be as you say. Snape is
ESE and Hermione's statement will turn out to be just that, the statement of
a schoolgirl who has misjudged one of her professors that she trusts only
because her headmaster chose (wrongly) to trust him. Or there could be more
to the story. I choose to keep an open mind until JKR reveals the truth.
