He was expecting LV to proud of him, and to reward him, but he wasn't 
expecting a kiss.

Oh, I don't know. It's been awhile, but both Quirrell and Crouch are 
thought to have suffered from it.

In August of 05 there was a pretty good thread about the DADA curse. 
Here's portions of two posts

 I see that I'm going into too much detail and I apologize to anyone
 who has followed me this far. Fortunately, I haven't given much
 thought to the DADA curse in years four and five. I'll just say that
 the real Moody, aknown enemy of Voldemort, is Imperio'd by Voldemort
 and his servants (including Wormtail) before he even gets to the
 school, the swiftest manifestation ever of the DADA curse (agent: his
 own trunk). And Crouch!Moody, the fanatically loyal servant of
 Voldemort who takes his place, also falls victim to the curse, having
 his identity and crimes exposed and his soul sucked out just at the
end of the year, following the pattern established by Quirrell,

4)Crouch!Moody's initial strategy: Unwavering belief in the Dark
Lord's power and the power of evil in general. Weakness: Hubris. In
his belief that Voldemort & evil will always prevail, Crouch
unwittingly causes Voldemort's downfall in the graveyard by teaching
Harry and those around him the skills Harry will need to escape LV.
In the end, his hubris allows him to believe he can outwit
Dumbledore, and he is ultimately destroyed by the very evil he
worships.


To be honest, I wonder if Harry with his DA didn't also get a touch 
of the curse. He ignored the Dark Detectors and was captured by Draco.

At any rate, whether Snape be DDM! or ESE! I think he became a victim 
of the curse.
