Else why would Snape himself be applying for the Master of the Dark Arts position that you know who wanted?

 

DD stated that since V was turned down, no teacher for that class lasted more than one year. By giving it to Snape, did that fit into his betrayal of the Order of the Phoenix? It would give Snape the perfect excuse to leave the school, and Dumbledore knew this...

Good arguments, but I still think that Snape really wanted to prevent you know who from getting that spot.

Could DD have finally given Snape the DADA position because he knew it would be the last year of Hogwarts?
