I think it is quite likely that the HBP will be the new DADA teacher.

 I'd like to see the new teacher be a new Potions master, and Snape finally get the DADA position. Harry would really be choked though - that's his favourite subject.

Yeah, Umbridge outdid even Snape in the unfair department. I think Snape would really be able to teach them something, now that he's not just trying to get them to realize that Lupin is a werewolf.

True, but even if he does get the position, I'll still have a profound dis-like for him

Ahh! I love Snape, for me--he's the bad guy that you hope turns out to be the good guy --type.
In fact, I hope Snape and Potter learn to get along at some point. Just my own bizzar wish. He'd make a great DADA teacher, remember his duel with pretty boy? LOL

Hmm...I think they could learn to get along...there's an old hatchet to be buried between Snape and Harry's God Father (and his dad, too). I suspect Snape got a rotten turn from Harry's father on more than one occasion (no one is perfect, and it's boring) and though he's a git himself, I'm under the impression that Snapes dark past is not of his choosing but rather a defense that could be won through. If ever Harry and Snape would let their guard down a minute with each other . . . Perhaps I like Allan Rickman too much to see him in a bad light...LOL

Snape ROCKS.
I think Harry is actually going to start treating him a little differently now that he knows more about the way his father treated Snape. I feel sorry for poor Snapie-poo  . |

Snape and Harry ... Yeah, Harry is as mad as ever, but the waters have been muddied for him, he's not as certain about some things. His ever perfect Right & Wrong meter is confused about his father's bully-like behaivor with Snape and Snapes horrible childhood memiors might have touched him a bit.....it's all speculation and hopefulness anyway....we'll just have to wait and see (or rather read...then see)

Yeah, he's just blaming Snape for everything so that he doesn't have to blame himself/Dumbledore/Sirius/his dad. They'll probably have to be reconciled in the next books.
(But I don't care if Harry hates Snape for ever - I can't stand him either )

I love Snape! *hugs Snape* *gets hexed*
I think he and Harry are both being a bit silly with this rivalry. Half the reason Snape hates Harry is because of James, and various scenes in OotP especially showed how different they were. It seems now the only thing they have in common is looks. Harry can be a prat to Snape at times, but I do think Snape is more guilty in that department. He does unreasonably persecute everyone in Gryffindor, but I suspect that this is to add to his cover so he can gain Malfoy's confidence and spy for the Order. As for their rivalry, Snape is supposed to be mature as the adult of the situation, and I suspect they will need to make peace (or at least not be at each other's throats) in order to further their cause of defeating Voldemort.

About this Felix Felicis bit... I'm becoming increasingly fond of the theory that the description excerpt about Felix Felicis, as opposed to my previous favorite that Felix is a spell or plant etc. From the excerpt:
