Hi,
I am sorry if this has been posted before but I have a theory
about why Dumbledore consistently refuses to let Snape have the DADA
techer's job. It's very simple actually.
He knows when Snape applied that one day Harry will be coming to
this school and DADA will be the most necessary and urgent skill the
school can give him. And knowing Snape's animosity for James and
others, he thinks that Snape might be obnoxious with Harry and might
prove to be a very bad teacher to Harry and worse scuttle Harry's
interest in the subject. Look at what happened to Harry and his
potions. If the same happened with DADA, he would be left defenceless
and resourceless wouldn't he?
I think that's the simple reason why Dumbledore refused Snape for
DADA job eventhough he when there were no other appplicants or very
bad candidates. If his interest were alive, Harry will at least learn
things on his own. But under a hostile and obnoxious teaacher he
might just lose interest.
Bye
Adi
