Now me:
You are right!  All Dumbledore cares about is our OWL/NEWT scores! It 
is our abilities - not the choices we make, right? ('tis a joke - 
please don't take that wrong)

Let's look at the abilities of the teachers he has chosen so far - 

Hagrid - one of my favorite characters - will be a GREAT teacher 
someday

Lupin - was a prefect, and my guess he scored very high.  A great 
teacher, but nobody will allow him to teach

Firenze - one of my favorite parts of the book when Firenze is 
teaching.  That is one class I would have really enjoyed attending.

Of course, there have also been a few duds.

Lockhart, Quirrel

I can't think of another person more qualified to teach DADA than 
Harry.  I don't think it will happen in this series, though.  He is 
so full of himself right now, so angry, and such a smart-mouthed 
little *git*.  He feels no gratitude and no sense of friendship.  How 
many times did Hermione ask him to stop biting her head off?  How 
many times did Ron remind him that he was his "mate"?  Harry reminds 
me a lot of myself at that age *bows his head in shame*.

And yes, I understand that Harry is angry.  He has suffered more than 
most in his few years, and life has not been fair to him.  I just 
hope he grows out of it soon.
