Tonks:

Ok, how about this one:
SS wants the DADA position because he knows the Dark Arts and would 
be a very good teacher of the subject.  And (due to the whole LV 
killed Lily and James and now I am a bitter and damned man) he hates 
LV and wants to teach the young wizards how to defend themselves 
against him.  "Don't be a fool like I was in my youth", "Don't fall 
for the Dark Lord's lure".  DD can't give the job to him because it 
would "out" Snape as DD's man. 

Or maybe Snape wouldn't come straight out and say those thing but 
would teach the class with those thoughts in his mind.  Snape's 
secret which he is able to conceal in any other job would, because 
of his strong emotional connection to the whole James and Lily 
death, guilt and damned thing, would just come out at some point in 
class no matter how much he tried to hide it. Draco would see this 
and tell.  And then Snape's cover would be blown.

Or..  somehow SS in that position would be used by LV against the 
students and the school.

Thats my best shot.
