GEO:

-Perhaps because Snape knows the art of potions brewing better than 
defense against the dark arts.
-Also it seems that the DADA class involves the use of dark arts for 
practice such as practicing resistance against Imperius and giving 
Snape the job would allow him to practice those same dark arts that 
caused his first falling in with Voldemort and co. Think of it this 
way, you might get a drug addict or alcoholic to teach a 
drug&alcohol resistance education program, but you would certainly 
try to keep drugs and alcohol away from the said addict.
