I wonder If during the last 5 years 4 of your teachers  (3 appointed 
by Dumbledore) had tried to kill you and a fifth make no  secret about 
hating your guts if you would feel the same  way.

Good Point!  But I do understand what Tonks is trying to say, it is 
Harry's job to treat those in athority with some respect, but IMO,
once they've shown they don't deserive it then all bets are off.

Eggplant, I don't want to be nitpicking, since in a  essence I 
absolutely agree with you, but just out of curiosity, who is  teacher 
number three and number four, who tried to kill Harry? I counted  
Quirrelmort and fake Moody. Who else?

I am just  curious.

I'm OBVIOUSLY not Eggplant, but Umbridge did try to kill Harry,
but Dumbledore didn't appoint her.  I think s/he is also  thinking
of Lockheart in th CoS, but he didn't really try to "KILL" Harry, 
just erase his memory, and have him sent so ST. Mungo's.  
Not that, that's any better.
