Yes, he is quite knowledgeable, remember that Hermione learned
about the polyjuice potion in Snape's class (Ron's comment -- do you 
think the only thing we have to do in Snape's class is to listen?)

He IS basically unfair to the students, but that doesn't mean they 
can't learn from him. My guess is that Dumbledore is unaware of the
intensity of personal viciousness that Snape has directed at Harry 
(the threat to slip him the truth potion conversation for example)


As someone who is in charge of hiring, I shudder to think that people 
would judge me by my bad hires, rather than my good ones!
