But how much teaching do people think Dumbledore actually does?  His 
role seems more of a managerial one, and he's not really in that close 
contact with the students (like they don't even know where hs office 
is).  How many "little rewards" are there in that?  Do you think he 
teaches Advanced transfiguration or DADA at NEWT level?  I'd really 
like to see him in action in the classroom, unfortunately I think he's 
 more likely to die in the next book than start taking classes.
