That makes sense, in that case he would have been Headmaster since 1956. However, 
that would contradict Lupin statement that I quote :

"It seemed impossible that I would be able to come to Hogwarts [...] But then 
Dumbledore became Headmaster, and he was sympathetic."

This strongly indicates that Dumbledore was not Headmaster when Lupin was very 
young, and Lupin is born around 1960.

In any case, I don't think it is possible to reason with ordinary logic regarding 
teacher's appointment in the WW. There is no way, for instance, that Minerva can 
teach Transfiguration to the four houses from first year to seven year. Since JKR has 
shown she would not follow conventional logic on that matter, I would not expect her 
to follow it in similar cases.
