previous reads/listens.  When Umbridge is doing her inspection of
McGonagall's class she questions her at the end of class about how
long she has taught at Hogwarts.  M says she has taught 39 years this
December.  Has anyone on list or elsewhere discussed if they think the
date is of interest.  It would mean M came to Hogwarts 3 months after
the start of term.

My guess is that is when the job became available. I always assumed
she followed up Dumbledore, who was transfiguration teacher.
