I think his strike rate with DDA teachers is low overall but we have no
other teachers from other disciplines to compare Remus with.  Think of
Gilderoy Lockhart as one of Dumbledore's DDA teachers and what a * sad * end
he (eventually) came to.  Everyone thinks the DDA job is jinxed after a
while (but still persist in saying Snape wants it more than anything...)
even Moody turns out not to be Moody in GoF.

I think Remus knows very well what he is capable of.  Dumbledore * may *
have made an error of judgement employing someone parents would think
unsuitable * if they found out * - but until the Shrieking Shack incident
Remus had not, as far as I remember, forgotten to take his regular potion
and would, thus contained, caused no harm.  Like many diseases - mental and
physical - symptoms can be contained by medication (potions)

Remus, as has been said before, is much tougher and edgier than he looks -
but not - as has also been said before BAD.  Life with the Lupins might not
be that bad.....
