That's why no prof lasts, but doesn't really explain why the profs are actual minions of evil--except Lupin, of course.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

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."

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...

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?

Exactly! Heh.

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.

Maybe he tried that and they wound up horribly dead and he didn't want to risk it. (Perhaps Lupin knew the risks when he took the job -- in fact I'm certain that both Mad-Eye and Lupin knew the risks because they're OotP members.)
