Alla:

I disagree. If I tell someone that I no longer want to do something
it 
could also be interpreted as if I am ALREADY doing something, but no 
LONGER want to do it, no?

So, what Snape had been already doing? Hm, since I am a fan of Snape 
choosing evil path on the Tower, I can suggest several things which
he 
had been already doing, which all had been suggested of course.

Snape may not have wanted to teach DADA anymore. Why? Because he 
somehow learned  that jinx on the position is  real and not just 
student's gossip. So, Snape has no desire to be jinxed at the end of 
the year. Maybe Voldie told him that he indeed placed the jinx ont he 
position and Snape should leave ASAP.


My favorite one is definitely the one that LL suggested - that Snape 
does not want to watch over Harry Potter anymore. It fits perfectly 
with Snape who started resenting Dumbledore more and more for forcing
 
this asignment on him. Remember in OOP? " I can assure you that I did 
not ask for the job" ( paraphrasing) What if Snape resentment was 
growing stronger there, but he did not start openly disobeying DD
yet? 
What if he came up with the way to sabotage  the lelssons without 
looking bad in front of DD?


Hmm, since even if Snape turns out to be good, I absolutely cannot
see 
DD asking to kill him in the forest, I could see Snape telling DD
that 
he is taking for granted his healing abilities ( so DD should stop 
going after horcruxes) - Potioncat's idea.


Just my speculative opinion,

Alla.
