I know this is not the sort of message you'd like to get from him, and that there's no love lost between you and Snape.
I think at this point, it all comes down to trust. And whereas we might not entirely trust Snape and Macnair, not yet, I do know that Dumbledore wouldn't speak up unless this was important, unless he was absolutely sure.
So if we can't trust Snape and Macnair entirely, we must decide whether we can trust Dumbledore.
And I do.
And thus far, in all your dealings with both of them, they have both attempted to tell us everything they know that could be of use, and have made every effort to show their trustworthiness to us. I know, I know, there could be hidden motives there, but that's something, isn't it?
