Before, the typical end-of-year vacancy of the DADA postition was 
comical.  I expected there to be a vacancy at the end of this year 
also.  I was not at all concerned before, but now I am. The 
beginning of DA made me realize that nearly a whole generation of 
students is not being prepared properly in DADA.  How long has it 
been since the school has had a regular DADA professor?  I would 
think (especially with the ensuing 2nd war) that Dumbledore would 
find an adequate professor (even if he had to do it himself!).  
Since Snape wants the postition, why not give it to him.  Whatever 
problems that might pose, they can't possibly be as bad as sending 
out class after class of graduates that can't defend themselves 
against Voldemort and his followers.

I have tried to see if anyone else has discussed this and haven't 
found any posts, but I am "just a little" overwhelmed by the volume 
of posts and couldn't possibly have read them all.
