Me again:
I read the post you've referenced above and I think your
suppositions are quite good. I wondered along those lines as well,
but had forgotten that Karkaroff and the other Durmstrang students
would have been an unknown entity to Barty!Crouch and might have
imperiled his evil plan for Harry. If Harry *had been* susceptible
to the Imperius Curse, then he would have been vulnerable to other
Death Eaters unfamiliar with Voldemort's plan currently in play, or
just plain nasty cheaters, who might have used the Imperius Curse
against Harry to ensure he lost.
Lupin in PoA was also straight forward with his students about
how to fight against Dark Arts, but in his case, specifically
against *Dark* creatures such as grindylows and hinkypunks, etc.
Taken together, between the two of them, they provided some very
valuable Dark Arts lessons to the students of Hogwarts. If the next
rumored Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is indeed Fleur
Delacour, then I wonder what she'll add to the mix.
The only thing I won't like about having her as the DADA teacher
is the way her accent is written. It doesn't make for quick reading
trying to decipher some of what she's saying.
She'll also be the first DADA teacher that won't be actively
reviled, disliked or disdainfully ignored by at least some portion
of the students and/or professors. Of course, maybe I'm speaking
too soon on this note...
