"master of this school"! So why does Snape call himself master of 
the school? <snip> Does he wish to become the Headmaster of Hogwarts 
at one point? This could provide clues into his personality... and 
his private thoughts (possibly, he considers himself greater than 
Dumbledore, the true master?)... But can it also tell us anything 
yet to come?"

He is the potions *Master*. Have you notice how other teachers at Hogwarts
are not referred as *Master*? Snape is extremely proud of this. Remember how
offended he was at Lockhart when he suggests he would do the unpetrifying
potion:

"Excuse me. I am still the potions master at this school!" (paraphrased)

He's not just a guy who knows potions. I believe he has a *Master's Degree*
in potions! If you were pulling ranks would you leave that out?
