Why not Minerva McGonagall?  She served as interim headmaster when 
Dumbledore was removed by Lucius Malfoy in CoS. Snape, while smart, 
has a underlying frustration with the world that would not serve him 
well in a leadership position.

Plus, Lucius and Snape will be at odds with each other in Order of 
the Phoenix and the coming books. Snape was a fellow Death Eater but 
he joined the Ministry in its fight against Voldemort and served as 
a "spy."  In Voldemort's musings in GoF, he commented that one of the 
Death Eaters had turned against him, and that he would be killed. I 
take this comment to be referring specifically to Snape.
