Dragons  aren't dark creatures, after all. 

What is the difference between dark and dangerous?  Dragons 
are XXXXX  according to Fantastic Beasts.  They are known 
wizard killers. Several varieties prefer to prey on humans. 
Certainly young wizards would need to be taught basic 
techniques of dragon defense and DADA seems the natural 
place to learn these.  Making dragon defence a fifth year topic fits 
nicely with canon Harry's ignorance  in GoF.  BTW, I distinctly 
heard Quirrel's voiceover say something about *vampires*  as 
Wood and co. were leaving. Anyone catch any more of his lines?

wondering if a mention of vampires was the mysterious thing 
JKR said couldn't be cut from the film.
