I think you've nailed it.  Dumbledore thinks that putting Snape in the
DADA position would be worse than hiring Lockhart or letting the
Minister of Magic make an appointment.  Hagrid's ignorance of Snape's
application may be due to Dumbledore's wishing to spare Snape the
embarrassment of being publicly turned down in favor of Goldilocks.

So why would DD let Snape teach (I'm being very nice, I didn't put
quotes around "teach".) Potions, but not DADA?

Any thoughts?
