If I may link this 'teachers' thread with my Sorting Hat questions, do
you think the teachers have to be sorted if they aren't former pupils
of the school?

We know that there are other wizarding schools, so it's safe to assume
that not all the Hogwarts teachers went to Hogwarts themselves. I would
assume that any new non-Hogwartonian teacher would have to be sorted.

If they aren't sorted, how would, say, McGonagall, end up as Head of
Gryffindor House? Do the House heads have to be former pupils of the
school? I doubt it.

Who is head of Ravenclaw House? This isn't stated (is it?) and most
people assume it's Flitwick. If there's no former Ravenclaw on the staff,
does the role default to a Ravenclaw prefect, or remain vacant?

At my old school, all the teachers were sorted into Houses. In fact, *we*
got to choose our House, but the teachers - I imagine - were allocated
Houses by the Head. Perhaps our Headmaster had a sorting hat in his study,
or maybe he tapped them on the head with his pipe and made three wishes
or something.
