Okay, in the final book we have all come to the conclusion of why
Professor Dumbledore choose to believe and trust so much in Professor
Snape. He was dying and he gave Snape the perfect way to keep in Lord
Voldemorts good graces by allowing him to kill Dumbledore himself, right.

But now we see in the end of the book, the problem with Harry was only
because he hated Harry's father so much, because he felt his father is
who cost him his precious Lily. Unfortunately and until it was too late to be taken back, he made decisions that ruined the life he had thought he had chosen on his own.

I have seen all of your posts saying that slytherin was the evil in the book, no it just represented all the evil thought in the book so it made it easier for the other houses to lay blame when something did not go right. It was a case of mistaken identity.

Yes Slytherin would not teach the witches and Wizards who were of mixed blood, but I do think he was too vain to honestly look and see that in some way it had to come full circle. Witches and Warlocks and Wizards had to have married outside their species to continue or else they would have eventually died out.

For Slytherin and so many of the Wizarding families to feel that way was obsolete thinking and had therefore led to their thinking that Lord Voldemort was the only way.

Professor Dumbledore's main mistake was he allowed his pride and his
feelings to get in the way. Had he not I really believe maybe Harry
would have better prepared at what he was to face in his life. (It made for great storylines do not get me wrong)

Where professor Snape came is was he had so rigidly believed that Wiches and Wizards were so strong they had nothing to gain from mortals. He soon decided that his rush to judgement made in haste of feelings is what ultimately destroyed his life and therefore he spent the rest of it trying to make up for the dreadful decisions he had made.

So where Dumbledore had been wrong to do what he done in his youth he
spent his life making up for all that he done to prove to himself that
he was worthy to thought of so highly. He was constanly at war with his inner feelings. So indeed he was a good guy in the end.

Professor Snape had the same things going on in his life but not to
the degree Professor Dumbledore did. While he only felt responsble for
his precious Lily's death, he proved his life to show he was trustful and deserving to be allowed in to Hogwarts and that he deserved to be known as a good person. He was in the end a good person. He was a good person when Lily died. He made choices that were not the best but he spent the rest of his life trying to be a better person.

Dumbldore's pride and mysteries of how he chose to do things led to
several deaths in the end becasue he did not choose to divulge full
truths. He decided that the little half truths which would make him look better to Harry and his friends was the best way. But it lead only to more questions and made the whole thing more immensely difficult. Dumbloredore was not perfect but he tried to be as ideally perfect as anyone could be and that was his ultimate downful, his pride was too much to ask for help from his friends when there was time enough to fix it the first time.
