IIRC, he was invigilating the written exam rather than administering the
practical. If that's right, then he wouldn't need to be the DADA professor
or even have a detailed knowledge of the subject, he's just there to make
sure no one is cheating in the exam. (Thinking back to my own O level days,
the exams were invigilated by any number of different teachers, not just the
ones relevant to the subject).

It could even have been the case that more than one exam was going on at the
same time - perhaps the NEWT in Charms and the OWL in DADA?
