DADA teacher in HBP (and possibly in book 7)

Hi all,

Sorry to restart the old discussion, but I couldn’t help.

I am re-reading the books for any clues possible, and came across a strange pattern about the DADA teachers.

In book1 and 4, we have a teacher who is a (hidden) supporter of Lord Voldemort and in the school to help Lord Voldemort get a specific thing (in 1, the Stone and in 4, Harry himself). They both try and kill Harry.

In book 2 and 5, we have a teacher who is so horrible that his/her departure from school is celebrated by teachers (including McGonall). 

So expanding on this, we have a teacher in book 3 and 6, who is very good in the DADA stuff ('If you mean Professor Lupin,' piped up Dean angrily, 'he was the best we ever -' OOtP) and teaches the students many things. 

As JKR has said that books 6 and 7 are like two parts of same novel, I think the same person continues otherwise we have the teacher who is supporter of Lord Voldemort in the last part.

Assuming we don’t have any new characters in 6 and 7 (as HBP is considered to be a title of a person we know and not a person we don’t know about), I think either Lupin is back, or Moody (the real one for a change). Dumbledore can teach the subject (in my opinion, that will be the best thing), but then his subject was Transfiguration, so can’t say, right???

Ok, now I have thrown my theory on the list, waiting for any *me, too*s and *no way*s
