<<Why is Dumbledore reluctant to give Snape the Defence against the Dark
Arts job? We know he is good at it.
I am sure I remember someone saying he was expert at it in book 2 or 3,
when they thought Snape would get it, rather than Lupin (or was it Snape
instead of Lockhart - why was he employed?).
I am sure he know's his stuff after book 4. He was really interested in
it as a child. etc. So why has Dumbledore never given him the job?>>

Perhaps Dumbledore or Fudge or whoever blacklisted Snape was worried that
Snape might forget about the "Defence" part, since he *is* a recovering
Death Eater (much like you don't put recovering alcoholics around wine
or beer). I do see him getting the job in the future, though.

Personally, I think Snape should break the curse of DADA teachers only
lasting one year and he should either teach year 6 and 7 or teach year
7 and have it implied at the end that he breaks the curse.
