Dumbledore and Lockhart

[Rachel Bray]

No: HPFGUIDX 16263

We discussed this in my class when we read CoS.  Someone 
asked why Dumbledore had hired Lockhart in the first place and 
then not fire him when it was obvious that he wasn't teaching 
anything substantial to the children (he had not read any of the 
other books, as we were required to read only CoS, but it was his 
guess that other teachers had/will taught/teach useful stuff).

We drew the conclusion that this was just to teach us, again, to 
never judge someone by their appearance only.

But then we got into an argument about how Dumbledore "wasted" 
a whole year of the children's DADA training just to teach them this 
lesson.

It was an ugly class that day, my friends.  :-)
