Lupin, Hagrid, Dobby, Trelawnley, Filch, and Firenze, have been given 
succour and shelter at Hogwarts, for reasons already defined by JKR.
Dumbledore sure does seem to be housing a lot of the shunned and 
dispossed of the Magical Folk, in true and laudable Christian style.

So who is left to be outed?
Flitwick, a half elf?
Snape, a half-vampire? (ducks)
Is there a half-hag lurking amongst the teaching staff?
Is Umbridge really a half-or-quarter Goblin? (not that DD gave her 
succour, but ..)
Who might be a muggle-born Proforessor? (Mme Pomfrey? McGonagall? Vector?)
What about lesbians like Grubbly-Plank? No,let us leave sexuality out of 
it; JKR is not going closer to this than metaphor.

Actually I think Snape IS being protected there, and not necessarily 
because he may or may not be a vampire to some degree. There is more to 
his mystery and past. As a major character we should be rewarded with 
more of his back story in books 6 and 7. I personally vote for his being 
given DADA at the start of book seven. But I'm drifting from the point......

Dumbledore shows his goodness through his action, and not his words. He 
  demonstrates true compassion through his equal opportunity employment 
programme. That should win him more friends than the exclusionist 
Voldemort in the long run. Pure-Bloods are a minority after all. The 
time is ripe for a revolution. There will be casualties on both sides, 
but Love must triumph over Hate, or I'm a dustbin (trash can to you 
left-pondians)
