>I just don't see a truly strong argument for keeping Snape away from 
teaching DADA - IF Dumbledore really trusts him, and that is canon.

>I don't have a good idea why DD is keeping Snape out of the DADA 
position either.  Open to suggestions and waiting to find out, which 
hopefully we will in the next couple books.

Me:
Although Dumbledore trusts Snape, it may be that he doesn't want him 
involved in the Dark Arts Job. Snape is like a reformed alcoholic - 
Dumbledore trusts him, but doesn't want him working behind the bar.

Though (as I argue with my own assumption), Snape does act as stand 
in teacher for Lupin...

Could also be that his ExDE status is more widely known and the wider 
community wouldn't see him as a good candidate.

It might also be that Dumbledore needs a good potions teacher (not 
that I think Snape is a good teacher, just good at potions), and they 
are harder to find than DADA teachers.

Well, I guess I am at a loss too :-)
