The REAL Reason Dumbledore DENIED Snape the Defense Against the Dark Arts Job - Harry Potter Theory

Video Description

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today I’ve got a theory for you which exposes Dumbledore’s TRUE motivations for the school’s Defence Against the Dark Arts posting. Severus Snape became the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor during Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts. And in theory, he was perfect for the position. He had a profound understanding of both sides of the magical spectrum, and knew more about the dark arts than most- making him the perfect candidate to teach students all about it. So..Why didn’t he assume the role SOONER? If Snape was so perfect for it- why couldn’t he just have the job? Why did he have to wait until Harry was in his sixth year? Why did we have to first go through Quirrell, Lockhart, Lupin, Fake Moody and Umbridge before SNAPE got his chance? The answer may be more complicated than you think. ▼ PODCAST (SPOTIFY) https://open.spotify.com/show/6EELBIYpnerxOxBh2wENgF?si=fae6259da94f4a9b ▼ PODCAST (APPLE) https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/harry-potter-theory/id1626573626 ▼HARRY POTTER THEORY EXTRA CHANNEL (MORE CONTENT!) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr4oWINCOyax0_-VS4FIGaQ ▼MYTHOLOGY CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMNO5DyuBpWRlWwTjqaP6RQ ▼ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hptheory/ ▼MAILING ADDRESS HP Theory PO BOX 37584 North Vancouver RPO The Quay BC V7M 0G4 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVqoigIqNacy9xMnEDZzN_Q/join Please LIKE / SUBSCRIBE / SHARE to support the channel Leave your video ideas down below!
