I think it's more likely that Snape - with his, shall we say, unique
- personal experience of the Dark Arts would say that knowing the
habitat of an obscure Asian water sprite (or whatever it was) that
the average student might only run across on an extended foreign trip
is by no means the only standard of a teacher's competence in DADA
and that he is qualified to talk about the kind of Dark Arts that
students and their families are unfortunately more likely to
encounter in the current WW situation.
