Mandy here:
Yes, I think so. Or at least have a sadistic streak. To teach DADA 
you have to have a certain amount of experience dealing with the Dark 
Arts themselves, and that is going to require the ability to tap into 
and draw from the darker side of human nature.  Sadism and masochism 
included.

The challenge comes in having the ability to control these qualities 
and desires before they consume you and you fall to the 'dark side' 
forever. This is sounding so Star Wars.
