Snape, Potions and DADA - let's twist again!

There's been reams of discussion about Snape's doomed ambition to
teach DADA, and  the rich assortment of eccentrics that DD has had to
employ instead of Snape ... So, let's look at it from a slightly
different angle.

Some of the professors are brilliant - others, let's say, not.
Presumably this suggests that there isn't an infinite pool of talented
would-be staff members out there, queueing up for Hogwarts jobs.

So, since we also know that Snape is brilliant at Potions (though
rating at best a Needs To Improve at public relations), shouldn't we
start to wonder who DD could appoint in Snape's place if he gave him
the DADA post?


After all, a weak DADA teacher is just that; a weak/incompetent
Potions teacher could blow up the school, magic enchantments or not!
