You know, that's a good question.  Dumbledore is so insistent that 
Snape is trustworthy, and mentions it on several occasions, that 
you'd think that trust would lend itself to letting Snape teach 
DADA.  Maybe he could be good at it, and if he could let go of some 
of the resentment and bitterness he harbors, he might even be a more 
effective teacher.  Compared to most of the other DADA teachers 
Hogwarts has had, it's hard to imagine him being worse (except for 
Lupin, of course!)
