Dumbledore and Teaching

[Bugg]

No: HPFGUIDX 21562

He may be managerial now but he taught for many years and still 
keeps active in student affairs. Most students appear to respect 
him. IMO he is active enough to enjoy the rewards of educating 
even if he doesn't teach a specific class anymore. The owner of 
the day care I used to work at still enjoys spending time with 
the kids. She knows the value of active participation. Although 
the kids know where her office is they seldom go there. They see 
her in the classrooms, lunch area, or play areas. 
 [I hope I made sense] 

I don't see Dumbledore teaching a Hogwarts class, but he may run 
teacher clinics or advanced transfiguration seminars. Dumbledore 
could die, but that is too big to deal with now.

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.
