As others have pointed out, don't forget Snape. IMHO Dumbledore, 
McGonagall, and Snape are the only ones that really matter. What 
would it matter if the lesser teachers were married? I don't know how 
that would fit into the plot of the story. It's obviously important  
that these teachers were/are married. Personally, I believe the three 
I mentioned were/are married. Especially my beloved Dumbledore. I 
also believe Dumbledore has had his share of grief. The scene with 
Harry and Dumbledore at the end of OoP makes me think so. "I know how 
you are feeling, Harry," said Dumbledore very quietly. And 
later, "What don't I know?" asked Dumbledore calmly. I can't picture 
Dumbledore having never been married. Snape? Married? Oh yeah! That 
LOLLIPOP ship needs to sink fast ;-D
