rereading the section on LV's Request. (Page 431, US edition) DD 
says that he thinks LV wanted to teach at Hogwarts because: 
"The castle is a stronghold of ancient magic. Undoubtedly LV had 
penetrated many more of its secrets that most of the students who 
pass thought the palace, but he may have felt that there were still 
mysteries to unravel, stores of magic to tap."

Maybe we need to ponder what other secrets the castle 
holds. "Stronghold of ancient magic", bring to mind the "ancient 
magic" that protected Harry at Godrick's Hollow. Also maybe there is 
magic there that may have only been unlocked by DD.

Help me out folks. What do we know about Hogwarts?

1. It was the hiding place for the Stone that gave Eternal Life.
2. It was the safest place for the stone, even safer that Gringotts.
3. The Chamber of Secrets is there.
4. Trelawney is there, but I don't think she is that important even 
though DD was protecting her by keeping her there.

What else?? What is in Hogwarts that LV wants? Something or some 
knowledge that he needs?

Any ideas?

  Luckdragon:
   
  I wonder if there could be more to the "Room of Requirement". If it presents itself as any place you need to use, equipment included, could LV use it in some way to find what he needs to be more powerful (ie: ancient books, potions, etc). 
   
  Could there be other secret rooms yet to discover.
   
  Could DD's possession's be of value, all his little instruments that may have helped him overcome Grindewald.
   
  Perhaps he just wants more "trophy's" to make more Horcruxes ie) the hat & sword.
   
  Mainly though I think LV just want's Hogwarts so he can breed his pureblood wizard army to take over the world.
