 Me(Linda):
   I can certainly see Snape becoming head master for many different 
reasons. However, I think this would cause a huge problem in the 
story line. If you believe Redeemed!Snape, Spy!Snape, or any of the 
other theories that have Snape being one of the good guys, it 
complicates things even more for a character that is already extemely 
complicated. If Snape is, indeed, one of the good guys and also needs 
to project that he is a DE to LV and company, he would have a near 
impossible feat to accomplish. He would need to balance the good of 
the students with a bad guy image in a very public forum. It would be 
very hard to be publically convincing in both roles I would think.

 -Linda, who does believe Snape will ultimately proove to be a good 
guy in one way or another
