My personal theory about Snape's Hogwarts career is that he is in
"deep cover" as a potions master because it gives him the excuse to
mess around with potions trying to find one that will destroy the
anti-death experiments Voldemort was messing around with back in the
pre-GH days (so that Voldemort will be vulnerable to mortal death
again without taking Harry with him) and it also gives him access to
DE's through their kids.  I don't have a great worked out plan
concerning this, but it's my underlying assumption regarding Snape.

I just had a rather whimsical thought concerning another reason Snape
is at Hogwarts: it's Dumbledore's idea of an adult-appropriate
detention for Snape's foolishness in believing in pureblood
superiority when he was younger.  As Catlady points out, it would
indeed be impossible not to have his perceptions altered by such an
experience.

Non-whimsically, I don't believe that Snape harbours any blood
obsessive views any more and probably hadn't for some time when he
ratted out on Voldemort.
