      Actually, I think Snape's reputed desire for the DADA job is one of
  those red herrings that we've been discussing here lately.  There's no
  real evidence that Snape wants the DADA job; we've not heard him talk
  about it, we've not heard any of the teachers (with perhaps the
  exception of Lupin, whose view of Snape is somewhat colored by their
  history) say that Snape is after the job.  

  Perhaps. However, Snape has been particularly nasty to everyone who has held the DADA position. Of course, that could all be chalked up to incompetence, but Lupin and Moody were very competent. I wonder why Snape dislikes Lupin. It can't be just because he's a werewolf.

  I wonder why JKR is setting
  us up with this idea; where might it go in the future?

  Hmmm, and another question: Why was Snape Lockheart's assistant for the dueling club? Does it say something about Snape's dueling abilities? I could see Snape getting into a dueling match, perhaps with Voldie.
