Severus Snape wanted to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts.
However, Albus Dumbledore always refused to give him the position because he believed that it would result in him returning to Dark Arts so he was given the position of Potions teacher until 1996.
In 1996, Dumbledore couldn't find a sufficient replacement for the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and was forced to give the place to Snape - whom he now trusted to remain on the correct side.
Horace Slughorn became the potions master.

Why did Severus Snape kill Albus Dumbledore?
Dumbledore put a cursed ring on his hand which would have killed him had Snape not stopped it. Snape told Dumbledore he only had about a year left to live and Dumbledore knew that Voldemort was plotting his death but didn't want Draco Malfoy's soul to be damaged by this. He also knew that Voldemort would want the Elder wand and that Snape needed to keep convincing Voldemort he was on his side. So, Dumbledore told Snape to kill him which meant Voldemort trusted him, Draco kept his soul intact and Dumbledore died as the last true owner of the Elder wand - although because Draco disarmed him before he died that part of the plan didn't work. Also because Dumbledore says that he would rather be killed by Snape than one of the other Death-Eaters, such as Belatrix Lestrange who, as Dumbledore put it 'like to play with their food'. Snape also made an unbreakable vow to Narcissa (or Cissy) Malfoy, to help Draco in his deed set by 'The Dark Lord', and if it should seem Draco would fail, he commit the deed himself. (The deed being to kill Albus Dumbledore)

He thought Severus Snape was threatening Quirinius Quirrell to help him steal the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone. He overheard Quirrell in a room by himself talking to Voldemort, but he thought it was Snape. He also saw, while riding his broomstick, Snape and Quirrell in the Forbidden Forest. In the movie, after fleeing the library, Harry saw Snape back Quirrell up against a wall and threaten him that he "doesn't want him as an enemy" before Filch interrupted them with the information that a student is out of bed. This was the scene where Snape probes the air with his hand in the direction of where Harry is under the Invisibility Cloak. It is just before he discovers the Mirror of Erised in the first movie.
