Well, this is one I just can't see happening any more than I can see 
Harry getting an "O" on his potions owl.  Dumbledore has plenty of 
evidence that these two despise each other.  I just don't see him 
being stupid enough to put them in a tense situation where they are 
pointing wands at each other.

As for Snape getting DADA -- I just don't know.  Dumbledore seems to 
have an AWFULLY powerful suspicion of what would happen in that 
situation, a suspicion that can't help but be magnified by Snape's 
failure to control himself in Occlumency.  If he can't resist a 
schoolboy grudge, how is he going to resist the Dark Arts?  If Snape 
ever does get DADA, I have a sneaking suspicion it will be the 
beginning of the end for the Potions Master.
