I also want to know why Snape hasn't replaced the old textbook with one written by himself, if he can make the same potions so much better.
Actually, this one I'm totally okay to chalk up to the fact that Canon!Snape really is an asshole. I'm as big a JKR-basher as they come, but I'm perfectly happy with the idea that Snape is a complete bastard and a bad teacher (I just think *all* the Hogwarts teachers are just as bad as he is). I can totally see him not caring that his students are learning the wrong stuff.
Of course why he didn't use his awesome potions making skills to do something *other* than work at Hogwarts I don't know, but then again since Hogwarts is the Whole World it's not like he had anywhere else to go.
