Re: Why make Snape DADA teacher?

I reckon Dumbledore really wanted Slughorn's memory about the Horcruxes and therefore convinced him to return as Potion Master at Hogwarts. This meant Snape was out of job, so Dumbledore let Snape become DADA teacher instead. That was the job he always wanted. I don't think Dumbledore wanted to lose Snape.
