DADA position goes to anyone who is willing to do it.  Its cursed apparently 
so no one wants it.  As Snape is good at Potions Dumbledore would like him to 
stay there and even so, Snape isnt so sharp with DADA since he told Harrys 
class the wrong information about the origins of a Kelpie.
Does Snape really want that job anyway?  Its just rumors.  Thats what I 
think.  I think JK has the characters saying that in the first year so we are 
suspicious of Snape being evil: and it worked.

Lupin doesnt perform dark arts, and neither does Lockhart (but thats because 
he doesnt have the ability to), Moody doesnt do dark arts so really, I dont 
think they do need to know the dark arts.  If you look at their lessons there is 
no dark magic going on (only Crouchs forbidden curses but those are banned 
and illegal, he shouldnt have done it).  The class get taught DEFENSE against 
the dark arts and thats exactly what it is.

Thats what I think anyway

BECKY:  I don't quite agree with you Nic.  Your right that people like Lupin and Moody don't do the dark arts.  But the question was, do they know HOW to do them?  If your a good wizard and you know enough about the dark arts to defend against it, I think you must be able to perform at least some of them if you so had a mind to.  I mean just because I've never shot anybody or ever had any desire to (being the sweet, pacifistic girl I am), I still know how to point and shoot a gun if I wanted to!

Your post reminded me of something concerning Snape's wanting the DADA position though.  Remember when Lockhart got the job?  Hagrid mentioned that he was the ONLY person who wanted it!  So either Snape (unknownst to Hagrid) applied and was immediately turned down by Dumbledore-which IS possible, OR Snape doesn't want this job nearly as badly as the student's seem to think he does.
