I believe it is only the Students that have said that he has been coveting
the DADA position.  While it is true that Snape was heavy into the Dark Arts
in school, and he did join the DE, he has not become the DADA instructor
when the opportunity arose these last 4 times.  Whether that is because
Dumbledoor has not offered the position to him, knowing Snape's past
dealings with the Dark Arts, or wether Snape has just not requested it, I
don't believe anyone knows.  But the point of this rambling is that IIRC
only students, and maybe Hagrid, have commented on that topic.

Was when he saw Snape sitting at the head table after being sorted in SS/PS?
I know I need to research before I spout off but I am at work now and my
books are at home.  If it was at that instance, IIRC Snape was speaking with
Quirll w/turbin.  IMO Voldie was under the turbin even at that time and may
have been able to sense HP there.  This is my opinion and would love comment
on it.
