Afraid So.
You cannot state your opinion as fact until it's been proven by canon. We
will see in book 7 whether or not Dumbledore's judgement was sound or not.
Until then, if there were 100 people who'd witnessed the events of the
tower, there'd be 100 different opinions of what had actually transpired.
I choose to trust Dumbledore's judgment because I KNOW that Harry's
interpretation of his reason for trusting Snape is not accurate. I KNOW this
because Dumbledore never told Harry why he trusted Severus. Dumbledore was
always adamant about avoiding this subject with Harry as we see at least
twice in HBP.
I may very well be wrong about Snape being on Dumbledore's side, but until
we know for certain Hermione and I and anyone else are free to trust
Dumbledore's judgement and in everything he ever said about Snape.
 
Cheers,
Ronin
