Carol:<snip>if DADA were more important than Potions, wouldn't one of the heads of houses be given that position? <snip> We don't know of anything the students learned from Quirrell; all they learned from Lockhart was not to release Cornish Pixies into a classroom and how *not* to defend yourself in a duel; and even Lupin only taught them how to deal with a few minor Dark
 beings or creatures or however you would classify hinkypunks and boggarts. (Mad Eye Moody never even got to teach because his position was taken over by a maniac, so I'm not counting him as a person DD hired. We don't know how he would have approached the subject.).. if DADA were more important than the key courses taught by the heads of houses, he'd have taught it himself rather than hiring such people.

<snip> The current Hogwarts teachers are hardly the only possible candidates. There must be hundreds of wizards in Britain who could still do it better than Quirrell, Lockhart or Umbridge . . .

Give Lupin and Moody/Crouch their due -  they at least made an effort to provide instruction/lessons that would be useful. But now, why not appoint an AUROR to teach? Or, as DD astutely attempted, an ex-auror (maybe very few live that long). I'd love to see the real Mad Eye come back to Hogwarts - he's a perfect complement to the staff. In general, though, Auror's have "been there."
