>> I love Carol's ideas for his work. But I think "after" he gets out of Azkaban he'll open his own shop. As much as I like the idea, I can't the logic of a successful Potions wizard applying for a DADA teaching positon and giving up his business. <<

>> I don't understand the Azkaban reference.  Isn't the period under discussion the 3-4 yrs between Severus leaving Hogwarts at 18 and becoming the Potions master 9/81?  It's possible he might have spent a short time in Azkaban (I doubt it) but that would have been after Lord V had been vaporized at GH. <snip> <<

Louis:
He was never in Azkaban he was working supposedly as a spy for DD prior to the downfall of LV. What he did while he was a DE or before is anyone guess right now. Pg 27 HBP Snape says "he had a comfortable job he preferred to a stint in Azkaban" the US version.
