What if other teachers behaved like Snape?

Snape went behind D-Dore's back to out Lupin. He did not "play along with D-
Dore's orders." 

He set the essay hoping to start a panic, which I'm sure D-Dore would not 
consider as "playing along."

Lupin resigned and D-Dore did not refuse  it, as he later did with Hagrid. 
Lupin screwed up, but he's also still a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

D-Dore stood in the face of parental outrage (and he did have a great deal of 
parental support) when it came to Hagrid. Had he wished Lupin to stay, he 
would have done the same for him.

D-Dore didn't want him there. All Snape accomplished was humiliating him on 
the way out.

I wonder, must Snape be right in EVERY situation?
