I have recently addressed this very issue in 141829 (The DADA Job - 
not Snape's cup of tea?). I believe this is an instance of author 
misdirection for reasons outlined in that article. One pertinent 
question to ponder is why, if Snape applied for the DADA job 
repeatedly did he never get it in place of Dolores?

For some reason, as yet undefined, Snape, I believe did not want the 
job and was not even expecting to be appointed for Harry's sixth 
year. Reference OotP (Bloomsbury hardback)Chapter Twelve – Professor 
Umbridge, at page 209 where Snape says "I take only the very best 
into my NEWT Potions class, which means that some of us will 
certainly be saying goodbye."

The overall premise of your thoughts are almost in line with mine, 
however, and it is inspired to suggest that hagrid's memory may be 
used to clue us in further.
