It is possible that D-dore is hoping Snape will mature or at least 
mellow out enough to stop making the lives of his students living 
hells. There is a line between tough (McGonagall) and just flat out 
spiteful (Snape presently).It's hard to consentrate when you're 
either terrified or consumed with hatred for the person teaching the 
course, the two main feelings Snape seems to inspire. I wonder if 
perhaps as a reward for his possible redemption ,sacrifice and hard 
work Snape will be rewarded with the DADA position in the 
end,assuming anyone is left alive. Everyone happy in the end, or as 
happy as Snape gets. 

Long live LOLLIPOPS!
