Sandy here:
I've always wondered if Snape didn't end up with the dungeon office 
as a form of self-inflicted punishment for whatever deeds he might 
have done as a DE. (nothing I can prove, just an occasional thought, 
since he seems the kind of brooding personality that might do that).
Another possibility would be that DD assigned him the dungeon digs as 
a gentle reminder that he *could* be in Azkaban, instead, but that is 
out of character for DD.
