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...
