They explained that in HBP - didn't they?
I mean isn't the curse by Voldemort on the position the reason that no DADA prof lasts more than a year?
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

That's why no prof lasts, but doesn't really explain why the profs are actual minions of evil--except Lupin, of course.

Well, Mad-eyed Mooney wasn't evil. He never made it to take the job, but he was the one Dumbledore hired.
Side note: It's going to be very odd seeing Goblet of Fire again after watching Tennant in Doctor Who.

While nothing can keep me from diving head first into the book...though I'm conceding to skip the midnight distribution because I'm starting out at 6am the next day to walk 10 miles in ugly heat...the NYTimes review has taken just the teeniest edge off my zeal.
I'm expecting ti be exhausted in the way that Harry's unrelenting whinging in GoF wore me out. Oh my. I do so love these characters...

Well, if you knew that the person would only last a year. . . who would you choose?

Also, what's his name from Chamber of Secrets wasn't a minion of evil, just incompetent and unscrupulous.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
So in the HP-verse DADA profs are like Spinal Tap drummers?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
sumi, I would choose specialists. A creatures person one year, a spells person another, etc, etc, so that, over 7 years, everyone would have learned from The Expert on each sub-topic.
