This is the correct clue.  I've already solved the puzzle so I can
attest that this works.

In logic puzzles like this, you should read this sort of sentence 
in this fashion:

The five teachers were [respectively:]
[1] the head of Hufflepuff
[2] the 1305 graduate
[3] the Potions professor
[4] Professor Tonilla and
[5] the one who graduated in 1314.

Each characteristic belongs to a different person.
