Potioncat:
Flitwick is the giving the written DADA O.W.L. exam in Snape's Worst 
Memory.  So we can presume he was a teacher, but not of DADA.

We are told that Snape applied for DADA but was given Potions.  That 
can either mean that 2 positions were open, or that the Potions 
teacher moved into the DADA job.

By the way, I snipped it, but I'll add this.  One character in the 
books refers to DADA being jinxed.  I think that is after Lockhart.  
The idea being that Quirrell dies, then Lockhart is injured.  I 
don't think the position being jinxed is supposed to be a WW given.
