This is where I think *Snape* starts losing his faith in Dumbeldore, and begins to question him -- when Dumbledore publicly undercuts him and disbelieves him. Faux-Moody's accusation in GoF (in "The Egg and the Eye") upsets Snape so much because Snape actually has reason to believe that Dumbledore doesn't trust him. By OotP, Snape is at the point where he will defy Dumbledore's orders (at least when Dumbledore isn't there standing over him) when he throws Harry out of his office
and this has another potentially dangerous outcome if Snape doesn't have a *very* good reason for sticking with the Order. I don't personally believe that Snape will ever turn back to Voldemort and the DE crowd but Dumbledore doesn't exactly give him a lot of reason not to. In a more simplified and less life-or-death situation, if I were Snape I'd be tempted to tell Dumbledore where to put his Sherbert Lemons the next time!
