Lynda:

Bringing Slughorn back to teach potions and all that aside, I've wondered since my first reading of HBP (and I think that I will continue to do so until I've completed my reading of the next book) if Snape wasn't given the DADA position in this book so that he could/would leave Hogwarts.  If there is a curse on that position which was put in place by Voldie, then, if his presence was needed at Hogwarts Dumbledore would, of course not give Snape the position, but when the climate changed, so to speak, and it became necessary for Snape to move on either at Dumbledore's behest or to return to Voldie full time then Dumbledore gave him the position, knowing full well that he would be leaving the school at the end of the term.
