I'd always noticed that he was referred to as 
"Potions Master".  I'd supposed "Master" was a 
title that he'd had to achieve a very high level 
of proficiency to earn.

In POA, when Lupin receives the wolfsbane potion, 
he says that he was "lucky to be working alongside 
Professor Snape", because "there aren't many wizards 
who are up to making it".  

My point is that someone with Snape's skills and 
education shouldn't have trouble finding a post 
in the WW.

I admit his DE past might hinder him, but I don't 
think it would keep him from finding employment, 
especially since he's been acquitted for over 15 
years.
