Kemper now:
Disliking someone is an emotional reason not to trust someone, not a valid one.  Harry liked Crouch Jr as his professor.

Kemper now:
Dumbledore may not have been completely confident that his theory of the Elder Wand's allegiance passes from possessor to possessor (I don't think no witch/wizard truly owns it, or is its master) due to conquest.  If he were wrong, he hoped/planned that Snape would become its master when Snape killed him.

I think the plan all along was that Snape was to kill Dumbledore as the ring's curse came to the end of its course, giving Snape some added Death Eater cred that he would need to maintain close proximity (if not relationship) to Voldemort to continue Dumbledore's plan.

Dumbledore trusted Severus Snape completely.  I presume that means with the Elder Wand as well.
