Dumbledore's an idiot...

Ok, not really, but he does lack in administrative skill.

Things seem to go on at Hogwarts that he has no knowlege of.  There's also
nearly unabashed favortisim on some levels towards various instructors.
Yet, some of the instructors that I would classify as needing to be "in the
loop" the most, don't seem to be.

He has a non-graduate teaching a seemingly importaint course.  Now, unless
I'm mistaken, there seems to be no framework whereby Hagrid could get
equivelent owls/newts.  But, if there is, why hasn't Dumbledore had him take
them?  I'm sure that an intensive summer with McG, Snape, et. al, and he
could be in top form to take these equivalency exams.

I guess this isn't overly cohereant, but I'm just looking at D'dore and
comparing him to the president of my university.  I know that if the head of
Purdue acted like D'dore, that he would be asked to reevaluate his desire to
continue in his position.

Just our second big gripe..

JKR being an immature writer and have been discussed already.)
