Snape and the DADA

I believe that while Snape wants the DADA job, he won't be allowed to have it on a permarment basis, maybe just small times like when Lupin was 'ill'.  While he is a very good teacher, his star pupil, hermione, manages to brew polyjuice potion in 2nd year, his divided loyalties (or need to keep an appearance of such) make it impossible for Dumbledore to give him the post.

Following the 'Snape as Spy' theory, if Voldemort accepts him back, he will then instruct Snape to dilute the DADA lessons to weaken Harry for the next meeting.  It would be very obvious to Voldemort that Snape was not doing that (though Draco's reports to his dad) and a quick AK will end the life of our potions master.
