[snip David's interesting stuff about Binns' unfinished business]

I suspect that Binns being dead and still teaching is just a JKR joke. Who
hasn't, as a child, sat through a desperately tedious boring lesson and
wondered to oneself "This guy is so *dull*! I bet he could drop dead and
not even notice he was dead, he is so *boring*. I think that's all Binns
is, an exaggerated jibe at boring teachers.
