We do have canon evidence that Snape wants the DADA job. It is in 
OOTP, where Umbridge inspects Snapes class. Umbridge asks Snape if 
it is true that he has applied for the DADA job every year since 
Quirrel, and that Snape applied for the DADA job the first year he 
was at Hogwarts. Snape replies that it is indeed true. Snape does 
want the DADA job
======================
Sherrie here:

Actually, all we have canon for is that Snape *applies for* the DADA job 
every year - we have no canon to indicate *why*.  Perhaps you're right, and he 
does really want it.  Or perhaps it's part of some plan between him and 
Dumbledore.  Or maybe he does it just to get on Minerva's nerves...we won't know for 
certain, IMHO, until we finally get Snape's backstory.

My two Knuts - as ever, YMMV.
