I always pictured Snape leaving Hogwarts, getting into trouble (if he 
was truly a Death Eater), having Dumbledore come to his aid in some 
way, turning spy, and then being offered the Hogwarts job by 
Dumbledore.  In GoF Dumbledore does say Snape is there at his 
invitation.  I have often wondered how long he has been there.
