Pippin:
We now know that Snape has extensive knowledge of DADA,
equal or surpassing Dumbledore (who could not save himself from the
ring curse and  called on Snape to save Katie instead of doing it himself.)
I think it would be a tragedy for the whole WW if this knowledge 
was lost. Dark wizards will have to be fought again whether 
Voldemort himself stands or falls.

We know that Aurors have additional training, and I think it would
symbolized the new understanding between Harry and Snape (if
such comes to pass, of course) if Harry continues his plans to
become an auror and takes further instruction from Snape.
