Louis, would you consider writing this in "article" form for the HP 
Lexicon?  I read that he is seeking article authors and this one is 
very thought provoking.  Your theories are VERY well thought out and 
well reasoned, particularly these points:

(all quoted from Louis)
>1) A DADA Teacher's Name Never Comes Up Before The Book He Or She
>Comes In As A DADA Teacher.
>2) Harry Always First Learns Or Is Exposed To His Current DADA
>Teacher Shortly Before Arriving At Hogwarts The Year That Teacher
>Starts Teaching
>4) The DADA Teacher Always Has A Big Secret That, If Exposed,
>Would Spell Ruin For The Teacher.
>5) The DADA Teacher Takes Center Stage At Hogwarts At Some Point
>6) The DADA Teacher Places Harry Potter In Real Peril At Least
>Once, If Not More
>7) NOBODY WANTS THE JOB!!!
>8) The DADA Teacher Remains For Only One Year, And Then Leaves In
>Some Spectacularly Dramatic Fashion
>7) The DADA Teachers Are Unable to Be Predicted 
>I believe we should approach this not so much in terms
>of what we already know, what's already been done, but rather in
>terms of, "Where have we *not* gone?" And this is going to be
>hard, because we know so very little about Book 6.

Not that your snape reasoning wasn't excellent, it was, and I agree 
that, according to the previous "truths" Snape doesn't fit the mold 
for the next DADA teacher. 

Isn't it amazing how very complex JKR has made these stories and how 
she is both predictable and unpredictable?
