Actually, neither could have been that bad as teachers since Grubblyplank 
told DUmbridge there wasn't much left to teach the kids to prep them for their 
OWL's (and they seemed to think they did ok on the exam) and Harry and Neville, 
at least, seemed fairly comfortable and confident in their Potions OWL exam 
when Snape wasn't there to breath down their neck and offer his usual 
"encouragements".

I'd be curious, though, to hear what the teachers on this list think of the 
teaching styles of the various teachers at Hogwarts?
