Jumping in (another new face here) - while Lockhart is pretty useless
at teaching DADA, he's certainly effective at teaching Harry why one
shouldn't be caught up in one's own celebrity. Granted, Harry doesn't
so much need to learn this, but maybe Dumbledore thinks he should.
After all, one of the (alleged) points of leaving him with the Dursleys, 
aside from the whole blood protection thing (which I personally think
is very shoddy) is to keep him from growing up as TBWL, constantly
aware of his celebrity.
