Defense Against the Dark Arts is taught to Hogwarts students from the first year to the fifth, with the option of N.E.W.T. classes in the sixth and seventh years for students who qualify.
As D.A.D.A. teachers left the school, Snape regularly reapplied for the position, and was denied each time, in what Snape assumed was Dumbledore's fear of his relapsing as a Death Eater.

 Why isn't Snape getting a chance at the Defense Against the Dark Arts job? [Archive] - The Coming Soon! Boards
Putting Snape in charge of Dark Arts when he was once a Deatheater would be like putting an alcoholic in charge of the bar, it might turn out ok but why take the chance.
I agree, I don't think Snape will ever teach DADA and the table is set for him to overcome his own hatred and make a hero’s sacrifice and in doing so exorcise his own demons and redeem himself completely.
11-19-2003, 07:57 PM You also have to keep in mind that the DADA job is supposedly "jinxed", and J.K. Rowling can't keep up the appearance that it's jinxed if she makes Snape the DADA teacher, because if he got the job, he'd be there for a year then would have to lose the job somehow.

It is possable she was a teacher at Hogwarts it would be a way to explain why the Potters were in close contact with Dumbledore.
The problem with being a defence against the dark arts teacher is that the job was cursed.
I think Lily was a bit too young, and a bit too preoccupied with her one-year-old son, to have been a Hogwarts Professor (which would have required her to basically be in the castle 24/7 during the school term.) Ditto for James.

 Discussion: Defence Against The Dark Arts Curse
Dumbledore said that when Tom left Hogwarts, DADA was being taught by Galatea Merrythought, an old Professor who had been at Hogwarts for nearly fifty years, though he did not say if she had been teaching DADA the whole time.
That means when the DADA teaching job is accepted, the job was dead before it started.
Voldy is probably powerful enough that with his jealousy of the DADA job it probably put a curse on it.
