With JKR, I never can tell, but I don't think it's really likely 
that Snape could wind up teaching DADA.  Dumbledore said that Snape 
failed to put his hatred for James aside when trying to teach Harry 
Occlumency, so I think he may worry that Snape would fail to put 
other feelings aside as a DADA professor.

On the other hand, I think it would be so much fun to read.  If it's 
NEWT level, Snape would have to be teaching them to defend 
themselves in something approaching a real duel.  What I wouldn't 
give to see Harry vs. Snape!

kind of hoping we'll see that in any case...
