Me:
I still think that Dumbledore has to give the post to Snape 
eventually (JKR has made it clear that he has wanted it for so long) 
and that now is probably a good time.  It's a new territory for 
conflict between Harry and Snape and will give Harry mixed feelings 
about his easiest subject.  The conflict over Occulemency (sp?) was 
a good transition into this even more challenging relationship 
between Harry and Snape (I didn't think it was possible!).  Through 
further DADA work, I think Harry will discover the keys to Snape's 
mysterious past.  I'm hoping for an eventual bonding moment, but 
that my just be too much to ask for-mutual understanding, perhaps?
