Diego:
In my opinion, Dumbledore didn't state at any moment that the curse
involved something bad happening to the person holding DADA post, just
the fact that none of them managed to stay on the job after a year.

We don't know for sure whether some of the professors teaching DADA in
the past, after the purported curse was in effect, just walked away
from the job for personal reasons, without something bad happening to
them (or maybe we know and I have misread something).
