I was reading the answer here
Snape dressing up as Darth Vader fanfic
It mentions a fan-fiction which states Snape joined the Hogwarts staff when he was 20, possibly making him the youngest person to join as a member of staff at the time. And Professor Snape is definitely one of the younger people teaching.
But is this true in canon? I think it's mentioned how long Snape had been teaching in OotP, and I think it's possible to figure out Snape's age at the time from the books. How old would that make him when he joined Hogwarts?
Incidentally, can Dumbledore just hire anyone that young to be a teacher at Hogwarts? Or was he hired as a trainee first, like he hired Hagrid?
Any level of canon is welcome. If this is not specifically mentioned then logical deductions from the books will be appreciated.
