With the downfall of Voldemort, Snape was facing a sentence in Azkaban, but protected by Dumbledore. He started to work at Hogwarts, in 1981, though not at Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, as he wanted (because the Dumbledore feared that he might be tempted by them again), but as Potions Master, a position he held until the fifth book in the series. In the sixth book he finally becomes Dark Arts teacher and Headmaster of the school (in the seventh). Snape never liked the other teachers, and the other teachers hate him, because they were not able to understand the reasons for Dumbledore to have a kind of blind faith in him.
Snape was, until the day of his death, loyal to Dumbledore, who gave him more complicated tests. With the return of Voldemort, he acted as a spy within the inner circle of "He who must not be named", and did this until the day he died without being discovered, thanks basically to his skills in Occlumency. It also had to kill Dumbledore on his orders, so as to prevent Draco to commit a murder and hurt his soul.
