Just some general comments-

True, no one really knows if Snape wants the job. Everyone knows he's
into dark arts, and everyone know he's a mean rotten nasty man. So
logically, you put the two together.

I don't know if Snape will get the job. I think there are indications
that the next DADA teacher will be female.

Independant of that, I can see Harry getting frustrated and going to
Snape and saying "Look, we hate each other, fine. Just fine! But I
need help, this idiot Voldemort keeps trying to kill me. He's got the
Death Curse and I've got the Jelly-Legs curse. I need help, and you're
the most qualified to help me. Forget that we hate each other and
teach me what I need to know to defend myself."
