Actually I don't think he was the personal potionmaker.  I think he
was the personal potionmaker's assistant.  The guy in the back of the
secret laboratory cutting up flobberworm parts or gutting human
sacrifices so that essential ingredients can be assembled while
Voldemort chats at the other end of the room with the Chief Potions
Wizard (aka CPW).  Snape at 19-21 years would be way too young to be
the CPW himself but it might explain why no one suspected he was a DE
(according to Sirius in GOF) and how he gained the expertise to be a
Potions Master at one of the best wizarding schools in Europe at the
tender age of 22.  And I don't believe it's because he kept really,
really good notes in his seventh year.
