Well, okay, but my question is: If Flitwick is qualified to teach
DADA, and he must be, given that he conducted the DADA OWL in Snape's
fifth year, why doesn't DD just hire him for that position and get
someone else to teach Charms? (He can't rehire Lupin now, but moving
Flitwick to DADA would solve all the problems with that position.)

Fred:
Why does a person need to be "qualified to teach" a subject just to 
hand out a test and make sure no one is cheating?
>From what I got out of the reading the scene, all Flitwick did was 
walk around making sure no one was cheating, and collected the 
papers at the end of the class.
Anyone could have done this, even Filch could have done this, (maybe 
not the charm at the end to summon the test papers, but collect them 
from each student personally), but this would not make 
him  "qualified to teach" DADA, or any thing else as far as that 
goes, would it?
What part of the scene gave you the impression that Flitwick was 
their teacher and not just their supervisor? What part of the scene 
gave you the impression that Flitwick was a qualified DADA teacher? 
Admittedly I might have missed something, but just because he passed 
out a test, watched the students take a test, then collected the 
test does not make him a qualified DADA teacher. As far as I 
remember, Flitwick did not even grade the test, he just collected 
them. To me, and this is just my opinion, this makes him their 
supervisor during the exam.
