Yes, now it really makes sense.
But still, with wereolf!Lupin, vampire!Snape, half-giant!Hagrid and
half-hag!Umbridge it starting to look like being just plain human is
a disqualifier for a teacher at Hogwarts.
I guess Prof. Flitwick could be part house-elf, Sprout a part-Goblin,
DD a part-bumblebee and Trelawney clearly has a just a tiny bit of
centaur blood which explains her erratic prophetic performances. But
what is McGonagall? Could she be the granddaughter of the Loch-Ness
kelpie?
And of course, since they're all apparently ashamed of their mixed
origin, they must be all evil. A frightening thought.
