I don't see him as abandoning Hogwarts either. He was
a soldier in the big war and his part to protect the
students was over. He needed to get back to LV to
fight there.

If he had lived, he might have been headmaster but I
doubt if he would really have wanted the job.

I don't think that Snape really liked to teach (just
an impression I get.)
