God forbid Rowling has to come up with an interesting reason for Snape defecting from the DE. Nah, he did it all for LUUURVE.
If Snape hates Voldemort for killing a girl he once had a crush on, that's pathetic enough, but it'd be ten times worse as the reason why Dumbledore trusted him. Snape hates Voldemort on account of an entirely self-involved, stalker crush on a girl who was always out of his league, and Dumbledore trusts Snape to stay selfish, hating and pathologically obsessive for as long as it takes? Granted, I probably would too, but. That's not just stretching the concept of the power that VM knows not, that's fucking it sideways.
