Hey brother, it said maybe a hundred times

throughout the books, but Dumbledore trusts Severus Snape.

Like we get it, dude, but could you please tell us why?

And yet, despite trusting him apparently a lot, it still takes 18 years before he is finally allowed to teach defense against the Dark Guards.

Turn to page 394.

Despite the fact that he is applying for the job every single year.

You applied first for the Defence Against the Dark Arts Post, is that correct?

Yes.

But you were unsuccessful?

Obviously. And double despite there being an opening every year. And triple despite Snake! being super qualified for the job.

And triple, despite Snape being super qualified for the job.

Certainly more qualified, I must say,

than the actual professors being hired to teach the job.

I mean just look here in philosopher stone where he's literally using defensive magic

against the defense against the Dark Arts teacher and then here in Chamber of Secrets,

he completely blasts Lockhart.

Although I guess to be fair,

who was pretty obvious what he was going to do.

Pretty obvious.

And then, in prisoner of Askeban,

Lupin was pretty great.
