It is possibly that simple, that he is a better potions master then 
he would be DDA teacher, or is that too simple an answer or one that 
has already been discussed? 

I agree Dumbledore rarely seems to do anything simply because the 
mood strikes him, he always seems to have a very logical long range 
plan in mind, something that almost always seems to work. So Snape 
not getting the DDA job could very well be that planning, perhaps 
something such as having someone he can trust make fake (forgive me I 
cannot spell it right) Vertisurum to stop Harry from giving away 
secerts? Are these over discussed ideas or possible motives for 
Dumbledore to act as he is acting?
