It's curious how people are always ready to make excuses for Snape.
Now it's the DADA position that made him go bad? He had no choice?

zgirnius:
I do not feel that the curse *made* him go bad, no. My comment about
liking the DADA theory for why Snape took the UV reflects my
admiration of Carol's long and interesting post 137,961. She argues
that the curse might work by exploiting the flaws of each of the
teachers in such a way that they each contribute to their own
downfall.

vmonte:
Ok, I see what you're saying. I'll check out Carol's post. Do you both 
think that the position was cursed during the penseive memory that 
Harry witnessed where it looked like Tom was reaching for his wand? I 
think it was Fintwich who mentioned this thought?
