I don't know about the last bit, but Percy was the first to mention it,
and told Harry and Ron something like "everyone knows Snape is after the
Defense Against the Dark Arts job." But this is precisely my point. All
we actually know is that "everyone" knows this. We have no evidence that
it is the truth, from Snape, Dumbledore, or anyone. It's just a rumor,
so skillfully intwined and reinforced that most of us think, yeah, Snape
wants it. But we don't have anything to go on but the rumorings of
students.
