Lady Macbeth:
Which could also indicate that Dumbledore is concerned about the direction
that Snape would take the class OR the possibility that the Dark Arts job
could put Snape in a more precarious situation than he's already in.  Being
as a number of Death Eaters have children at Hogwarts, as do unknown number
of potential Death Eaters, it wouldn't at all be hard for them to tell their
parents who could tell Voldemort what Snape is doing in Defense Against Dark
Arts.  Depending on how Dumbledore felt the situation might go, the DADA
teacher may even come into conflict with the Death Eaters or Voldemort
personally at some point, either inadvertently as Quirrel did or
intentionally.

Lady Macbeth:
Not at all unusual behavior for someone who's unstable to start with.
