 I am quite intrigued at the thought of one of them being the DatDA 
teachers; my bet isn't on Lily it's on James in this case. That 
would make the Snape factor much more dynamic, as Snapey-poo would 
want a position he could have shown he himself was much better at 
than James was.

"SOLD!, again Charme my hat is off."

Imagine, *James* having once been a DADA teacher.

^^^Snape on this^^^ _growl_ 'What did *he* know about Dark Arts! *I* 
studied and lived it! (spitting) *Potter!* was nothing but a pretty-
boy Quidditch Player!"

Oh yes! I see it clearly.................... {when Snape went to 
work at Hogwarts *one* year before The GH incedent the DADA teacher 
position had become *newly vacant* due to James' need to go into 
hiding.)
 
It makes toooo much obvious sense that Snape would have initially 
applied to the position as a *fitting* replacement for Potter, most 
certainly secure in his belief that *anyone* could see he was far 
more expert in the field than James could ever have been. 
Surely he would have thought it would be a *relief* to DD, that 
someone with some *real* DA expertise was *finally* going to 
instruct the students. 

Sooo cohesive with the Snape we know.

reply:
I won't take much more to convince me of this one either, Charme.
You are one surprisingly sharp poster IMO.

Best to You
