be excellent at the job (Dumbledore, Snape) never became DADA
teachers. I wondered whether or not the general attitude (in my
opinion) reflected that of the attitude of the entire wizarding world;
Lack of DADA emphasis at Hogwarts: Lack of emphasis on protection
against DA in the WW. 

Well, I certainly can understand why Dumbledore does not want Snape as
a teacher of DADA - with Snape's history, he might be a bit afraid of
letting Snape deal with DA too much --- just to avoid possible
temptation.

For Dumbledore, maybe he simply does not like the subject, so why he
should
teach it?

Of course, there might be also a malevolent/incompetent influence of
School board members - after all, Lucius was kicked off the board
after CoS and since then the teachers' quality improved :)
