I agree with Marcus:

IIRC, Snape disliked the DADA professors *personally*,
not because he coveted their job.  (Although he seems
to dislike everyone but Malfoy, doesn't he?)  All of
the teachers either thought or knew that Lockhart
didn't know what he was doing, and Snape had hated
Lupin since they attended Hogwarts together.

Snape seems perfectly happy teaching potions--in
PS/SS, Ch. 8, he gave that lovely monologue about how
important and exact the art of potion-brewing is if
you weren't a dunderhead.

Any thoughts?
