I think he actually did have Dumbledore's permission. Firstly, because as 
you point out, if he lied about it Dumbledore would hear about it -- those 
DADA classes were the talk of the school.  Secondly, because (I'm going from 
memory here) he said that they would be learning about Unforgivable Curses 
*earlier* than usual (with the implication that they would ordinarily be 
studying them  in later years).
