just like new staff in that position every year to keep himself 
amused. (may be that's why he hired Lockhart) After all, it seemed 
like most of the staff except the DADA have been in Hogwarts 
forever. Fifty years in the same school -- how can Dumbledore stand 
it?"

I honestly don't think that Dumbledore might go as far as hiring a 
git like Lockhart in order to amuse himself, he takes his headmáster 
duties much too serious. But why did he hire lockhart in the first 
place? he surely knew what kind of person he was. Perhaps there was 
nobody else and he really doesn't want to give Severus the job?!
