In OoP, when Snape is being interviewed by that toad-lady (can't think of her name...the DADA teacher in book 5) she notes that he has been applying for the position of DADA teacher since he arrived at Hogwarts and he says that is true.

Could it be so that he can keep brushing up since he needs an awful lot of protection if he's truly turned 'good' from being a death-eater?
