I would appoint a competant DADA Professor! Much as one hesitates to
agree with Lucius Malfoy, Dumbledore's record as a headmaster is
questionable in this area at least. The record of which we are aware
runs: host to the Dark Lord (poss. not an incentive to be particularly
effective), dangerous fraud, werewolf (symptoms not 100% controlled),
paranoid maniac who turns out to be Voldemort's henchman. The
Governors really should have looked into this!
