A job that doesn't pay well? How about teaching? Snape isn't rich
despite his (presumed) pureblood status. Which makes me wonder--what
if James was the DADA teacher and his death started the jinx on that
position? That would put a new twist on Snape's quest for the DADA
post--and on his resentment of James, as well.
