Potioncat:
All the more reason not to give DADA to Snape, unless his cover has 
been completely blown by that time.

That and the unfortunate incident of the kappas. :-)



Then Susan said:
Uh, I always sort of figured that the reason DD won't give SS the 
DADA position is because DD thinks teaching DADA will be too much of 
a temptation for SS.  I mean, the dark arts are quite 
powerful/empowering.  And since we already sort of know that SS was 
involved with LV, DE's and the dark arts, why tempt him?  Sort of 
like asking an alcoholic to run a pub...


Jim imagines:
Can you imagine Snape as the DADA?  Think of the way he treats 
Neville and Harry in Potions, then transfer that teaching method to 
DADA!  

Neville would never have gained confidence like he did from Lupin and 
Harry would have been truly tortured learning to resist the 
Unforgivable Curses. 

No, Snape would hurt the DADA program (students) more than he would 
help it.

The real Moody OTOH
.  Now there is a DADA Professor!
