Well, with the right attitude, one can learn a positive lesson from 
just about any bad experience (and many good experiences as well).  I 
don't think this fact has any bearing on whether or not Dumbledore 
severely misjudged Quirrell, Lockhart, or Fake!Moody.  Unless, of 
course, you are arguing for PuppetMaster!Dumbledore, who engineers 
horrible experiences for Harry to endure with the goal of Making Him A 
Stronger Fighter -- that's enough discussion altogether. ^_^
