Tamme theorized about the lack of seasoned teachers. A very true 
statement. The DADA class just seems to lack the luster that might 
appeal to older, experienced, qualified, teachers. Why this is? well 
that is really the question. 

My first thoughts are that, no one really cares/ believes in 
defending themselves, or their children, against the dark arts. I 
mean there must be some select few, but the WW as a whole doesn't 
seem to worry too much. (besides the 'he-who-must-not-be-named' 
stuff) Is there some logical reason for the lack of concern? 

I will admit that Snape might Choose potions anyways, and that 
Dumbledore was really good at transfiguration, and they both maybe 
prefer/red their positions. But if the WW demanding adequate defense 
classes, both would have been forced to teach, or they would have 
gotten other excellent teachers. Again, to me, it seems they just 
don't trouble themselves with those thoughts. 

I believe Tamme even mentioned that, most wizards, like Fudge, would 
rather just ignore the problem of 'dark wizards' or at least certain 
aspects. But again even in Dumbledore's day as a teacher, before the 
reign of terror, he, Dumbledore, was not a DADA teacher. This leads 
me to believe the WW has always treated DADA in this manner, and I 
still can't see *why.*

again 'Is there some logical reason for the lack of concern?' 

~also a side note:> a little while ago I mentioned Real!Moony being 
in book 5, and Betty asked where I found that.
it took me a while to remember, but here:

It was on the lexicon (knew I had read it, I've read that whole site)
So it's a fact.<~
