I don't know, some of the best teachers I ever had weren't popular but I 
learnt more from them than I ever did from the younger more popular teachers. (And so I'm not completely OT) Snape is not a popular teacher or even a nice one, but I think it's likely that the Hogwarts students that learned from him are more advanced. Phineas Nigellus might not have been the most loved head Hogwarts ever had, but so what? They can't all be Dumbledore offering sweets and twinkling eyes.
