Or there is my favorite, that he doesn't want it.  He has never 
wanted it.  He is quite happy being potions master.  The source of 
the rumor is the same source that tagged Harry as the "Heir of 
Slytherin". -- the students themselves.

Besides who would have to concoct a red herring to convince people 
that Snape wanted to ally himself with "The Dark Arts?"  He is mean, 
nasty, petty, and arbitrary.  If that was their goal, then just let 
Snape be Snape and let nature take its course.  It seems to be 
working.
