I'm surprised no one thinks as I do, that Trelawney is the only 
Divination teacher Dumbledore can get, just like DADA but for a 
different reason.

As has been stated in the past on this list, wizards don't think very 
much of divination, hence I doubt many are into it, and if they are, 
they probably aren't very popular. I suspect they live somewhat 
isolated lives, either because they are shunned by other wizards (who 
wants to hear they are dying every twelve minutes?), or because they 
need to shun others (because every time they meet someone they have a 
vision that person will die in twelve minutes). It must be a horrible 
existing for a seer. 

So it must be hard to get a good divination teacher. So Hogwarts has 
Trelawney.
