Pippin:
JKR said that Lupin is the one teacher that she would like to have 
had. Logically she wouldn't pick any of the others if she had a choice. 
That means, IMO, that Lupin is the *only* one who's not abusing 
his power, in the sense that he's the only one who could succeed 
without a captive audience.

Binns abuses his power by being boring, and I'd
have to put Sprout and Sinistra, who apparently has no
personality at all :p   in that category too, as far as Harry is
concerned. But Neville no doubt finds Professor Sprout's
classes absolutely fascinating, and her low key approach 
exactly what he needs.
