Potioncat:
Well, only half joking.  She seems fairly skilled in many ways. And 
we've reason to believe she sat her NEWTS.  Given the standards she 
sets for the kids, I expect she did well at school.

Now, as to Snape as DADA...his bogart would no doubt scare all of 
us.  But can you him teaching that class?
"You idiot boy!  I said think of something funny!"  (and woe to the 
poor student who thinks of a tall hat with a vulture.)

As far as his DE connections go, I seem to be in the minority to 
think that if his DE background didn't keep him out of Potions it 
wouldn't keep him out of DADA.
