Did Dumbledore change enough to deserve the exceptional amount of trust he asks from Harry? Exactly. I would have loved the books to tackle this issue - Harry going from blindly trusting to shock to reevaluating to come to some sort of conclusion. But all she did was sort of raise the issue, then leave it dangling in the air for a few hundred pages and then reverting to status quo as if nothing had happened. As if Harry was saying "Darn, that old codger wasn't half as saintly as we all thought! So - um - well. Never mind. We'll trust him all the same, although there is no reason for it."
