i was just thinkin the other day, and it came to me that maybe finally JKR will make snape the DADA teacher. that would give the book a little twist. what do u think?

i think that she might do that too.

That wood b so shan on Harry tho.He already has 2 suffer Snape's remarks etc in Potions & in D.A.D.A it wood b 2 much!

then again, harry excells in DADA...maybe this'll give harry and snape a chance to get "closer"...maybe a friendship between harry and snape will play a big part in future books...

that is very hard to imagine. but i know that they will have to get a long someday.

I think that she should.Snape would probably won't be that bad with Harry if he was the DADA teacher.He is juste always mad because he don't have the right job.BTW I think he would be a geat DADA teacher Well that's what I think.

well, that would be interesting to see! but then they'll have to get a new Potions teacher!

That's true.Maybe we'll see new teachers.

someone new would probably come in as the new potions teacher.

And maybe Snape and the new potions teacher will fall in love with each other.

I think theres a reason why Dumbledore has never given Snape the job...it would have been the perfect opportunity to give him the DADA job in Cos, since Lockhart was the only person they could find.

I do think the Dumbledore has kept the job from him for a reason...

But I think that reason is that he's needed in the later years as the DADA professor. If there wasn't a reason for him to become the DADA professor, then it wouldn't be mentioned so often, in my opinion. I think it's very plausable...

Yes, maybe he's been saving him. I think the DADA teacher in book 6 will have to be VERY good, since now everyone knows whats coming. And as Jo Rowling has said shes not introducing anymore characters, it could very well be Snape.

i really hope snape gets the job. he might be a really good dada teacher, who knows...

i dunno, i think snape suits potions perfectly and shouldnt leave that job, he's slimy, oily and ugly... i also think Alan Rickman does a brilliant job at it... i've always been sort of a fan of Rickman he's a very good actor... anyway back onto the topic...

Snape would probably be very good as a DADA teacher but then who would teach potions? like i said before he seems perfect for the job, no one else can be as mean and unfair as u would think a potions teacher would be...

BTW- have you all checked out www.potterpuppetpals.com ??? he's well funny!

it could also be a bad idea for snape to be a dada teacher. what if dumbledore isnt giving him that job because he thinks that snape will go bad again or something like that

I think that, sooner or later, Snape will become DADA teacher before Hp ends.

i think he will become dada teacher too. i think it will be after the war ends. i also think that it will be the year after harry and everyone else leaves

Or maybe he will be DADA teacher pretending to attract Voldemort. He could pretend to promise him Harry in change of his forgiveness... :roll:

^^ that too. but i think that dumbledore is keeping snape away from that job for a reason

Snape could possibly become the DADA teacher, and that would be an interesting thing to see, but I personally don't really see it happening. As others have stated, Dumbledore must've had a reason to not give him the job, and he just seems to suit Potions. I'd like to see Lupin come back as DADA teacher, but I don't really see that happening either. :? So, who knows? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

we know that the job is cursed, we don't know if the curse can be broken. Dumbledore must know it's cursed, and he must know that snape would in fact be the best teacher for the job, maybe he doesn't want Snape to waste his "one year" on the job so soon, maybe Dumbledore is waiting for a year when Snape is seriously needed, a.k.a. year 6 or 7 for Harry. I think this is plausible and I think Snape will in the end get the job and maybe break the curse.

Heyyyyy, maybe it would be good if Snape didnt teach potions, that way Harry could pursue being an aurour and take potions and possibly do well... He already has everything he needs to know about the dark arts...

I totally agree. This is my opinion too.

That would be perfect! Maybe JKR has thought that! :wink:

I think Snape'll die before the end of the series because he used to be a Death Eater and if he begins spying for Dumbledore that puts his life on the line. Voldemort will most likely find out and then that's the end of Snape. So if this does happen, maybe Snape will be DADA teacher in book six, die and then theposition will remain cursed. But, before he dies, I think he and Harry have to have a so-called heart-to-heart talk because they have a lot of issues to sort out, you know?

^^i totally agree with that. it makes a lot of sense.

I really hope Snape redeems himself first though.

I think Tonks will be the next DADA. Snape is a good potion teacher or at least he is a good potion master. He not a very good teacher. I hope he redeems himself too. But I also think he may have to die for Harry to redeem himself.

Tonks is an aurour, not a teacher.

Snape is not gonna take the job in Book 6, but in Book 7 he is. Yes, they are gonna have a talk and they aren't gonna be like him and McGonnogal, but they aren't gonna hate eachother and Snape isn't going to tease him, or treat him worse. Because personally I can't blame Snape for being a punk to Harry because of the way Harry's father treated him, like what he saw in Book 5. I would fight myself every night not to Kill Harry. This is what I think anyways.

but he still shouldnt be bitter at harry for whaat his father did, harry is not his father.

How do we even know that he wants the job? Yeah, hes never liked any of the DADA teachers, but isn't he the same with all teachers. That mixed with the fact they are all INCOMPETENT sorta tells me he just wants the students to learn DADA, and so he shows particular hatred to the teachers who dont teach them. He only hated Remus cause he was friends with James.

I think Snape is misunderstood.

I agree.

Yeah, he is. But he's also very unfair to be so cruel to harry after all that HARRY has been through. Harrys had a worse time than snape. positive.

Snape is misunderstood. Snape treats him this way because of his father. Snape sees similiar traits in Harry, as he seen in Harry's father.

yeah but thats still no excuse...

I agree. Harry has already been through similarly embarassing situations like Snape, and Snape has to realise that Harry is NOT his father.

Snape is evil. I think he has been starve d of Storge love like Voldie. I think DD trust Snape only so far. If he was the DADA teacher he would be too tempted to use the dark arts against the students.

Half of that is right. Snape would be tempted, most likely, to use dark arts if he took the DADA job. But he is not evil and he does not thrive to be faithful to Voldemort. Snape is a master of Occulemency (*spelling*) and can block his mind from Voldemort to know if he is eveil, good, bad, or whatever.

lol, I just think Snape is a very complex character, and whenther he is bad or good, we will see.

He is clearly good, well not bad enough to be a Voldemort supporter, DE.

yeah, butlike I said, its all in the cards still

YeAh.

Snape needs love. He looks neglected and acts like he has got a big chip on his shoulder. Yes he can block his mind from Voldie but he can also block it from DD. I think he had a crush on Lily and turned spy for DD to save Lily. He doesn't like Harry because he reminds him too much of James and his lost love. I don't think he will go back to Voldie but he is still Evil.

A crush on lily? He called her a MUDBLOOD.

He didn't want to publicly express his feelings now would he? Oh yeah, a Slytherin Dark Arts Lover, expresing publicly feelings for a Redheaded Mudblood IN Gryffindor? I don't think so. But maybe he had feelings.

do u really think that rowling would go through all that trouble with the parents dieing for him giving him this special power of love, mean while all this time snape is his dad(dont know how they r going to put a spin on that).... than again i could see snape as one of those crazy parents that want there children to be super smart just trying to push harry to become great at potions just like him (also explains y he always protecting harry in every movie)

thats a really good theory

Snape IS NOT Harry's dad. It is clearly James. If Snape was Harry's dad, why did James die to protect him? Voldemort would've known if Snape was Harry's dad right? He woulda killed snipe too woudn't he? So.....l

Snape can't be Harry's father, I agree with that. But maybe he did have a little crush on Lily. However, I don't think he's pushing Harry (dropping his potions accidently on purpose) but I think he feels it's more of an obligation of his to protect Harry. Constantly trying to repay his debt to James. Plus, he may feel that he can never truly repay him. Guilty feelings about being a Death Eater and how James and Lily were killed? or maybe about other things we haven't seen yet.
