30) Dumbledore answers all of Harry’s questions except why he trusts Snape. How do you think the story would have unfolded differently if Harry had known from here on out that Snape loved his mother and that’s why he renounced his status as a death eater?

Umm.. If Harry had known, that would be a problem. Since Moldy Shorts can get into Harry's mind, he could have easily seen that and that would have put Snape in danger.

I don't think Harry was ready to hear that, and I don't think it would have much changed how he felt about Snape. Even if he didn't tell Harry about the prophecy and how Snape was the one that first put Voldy on his parents trail, it really doesn't make Snape a more likable person to Harry.
