Potioncat:
Snape applies regularly for 14 years for a job and is denied. Even 
when it means the MoM will appoint a teacher.

Snape requests frequently that a disobedient student be expelled or 
at least suspended and is denied.

Snape argues against the hiring of a man who is a werewolf and who 
was known to be a friend of the murderer Black and is ignored.

Snape is humiliated by a fellow teacher and the Headmaster joins in.
 
Snape brings in the murderer Black, at risk to his own life, and is 
ignored.

Snape was tempted by Fudge. I wonder if anyone else will be tempting 
him?
