If a teacher sees two students fighting isn't it their job to try to 
break it up?

If a teacher was threatening a student and another teacher walked 
by, wouldn't they have an obligation to say something, "Like excuse 
me. Is there a problem here?"  (Where I went to school if a teacher 
did/had threatened a student that would have been sufficient to 
diffuse the situation.  The rescuing teacher wouldn't have to 
physically take the offending teacher on.)

It *IS* his job to protect a student from other students and I would 
imagine to protect a student from other teachers as well.  For 
exmaple,  McGonagall did make Moody (really Crouch Jr.) stop bouncing 
Malfoy about.

So, yes I would think it would fall somewhere under his job 
description.
