Honestly, I don't think Dumbledore ever had Snape's interests at heart at all. He used him as a tool against Voldemort. There's no evidence to say he had any kind of personal relationship with young Snape either. In the books, he was shown to be a pretty aloof Headmaster whenever Harry wasn't involved. So if we're going to for the angle that Snape was an at-risk kid and Dumbledore/the system failed him then we might get somewhere, but that "somewhere" isn't going to be as extensive as to say that Dumbledore was the reason Snape's life got screwed up, when his familial situation, his peer relationships, and his life choices as an adult man have all done much, much more toward that end.

And in the end, I'm still going to hold Snape's treatment of his students to a different standard of judgement, regardless of what happened to him as a youth, or what his boss could have done to keep him in line.

Fair enough.
