This brings up the question of just exactly how someone becomes a teacher in 
the WW. We know that there are no higher institutes of learning in the WW. 
It's not like you graduate from Hogwarts and then go on to wizard's college. So 
what qualifies someone to teach (or be a Healer or any other profession for 
that matter)? Do you qualify as a teacher because you are particularly gifted in 
a certain subject (Snape in potions or McGonagall in Transfiguratioin) or 
because you have practical experience (Lupin as DADA teacher or Hagrid as CoMC)? 
Hagrid is a perfect example of lack of training. He didn't even graduate from 
Hogwarts, and in fact only completed three years of education there. We know, 
because of Harry's interest in it, that there is Auror's training, but exactly 
how does anyone in the WW pick a career and train for it?

Yippee!
