Amiable Dorsai:
Other than, you know, picking out a student for "special attention"
during his very first Potions class, insulting an orphan's father,
insulting a student's looks, playing favorites, casting aspersions on
a student's intelligence to another teacher in front of the student
and his classmates, making an unjustified criticism of another teacher
to that teacher's class, threatening to poison a student's pet and
then being abusive after he's thwarted, discouraging class
participation from the best student in his class... 

And then there's the time he tried to have the very souls of two
innocent men destroyed.

Other than that, yes, he seems very jolly.
