| Aug 3, 2017 at 21:23 | comment | added | Obsidia | You win again! ;) I was writing an answer that said basically the same thing about the job not being a death sentence and Snape being able to return to teaching Potions after his year of teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. | |

Like I say, presumably he thought he could go back to teaching Potions after a year. Just because you have to quit as DADA teacher doesn't mean you have to die or anything. | |

What about all the years prior? | |
