Cat says:
Yes, Dumbledore was Transfiguration professor. When he became Headmaster he brought in Minerva McGonagall for Transfiguration.

I seem to remember that when YoungSnape was sorted into Slytherin, Lucius Malfoy was a Prefect and greeted him.


Getting to read JKR's notes and musings on Pottermore should be great fun and lend a lot of new information to fuel our continued discussions about new "stuff"!
 One of the things that I be interested to find out is How many and Who were the DADA teachers between the time Riddle/Voldemort was refused the position and Quirrell? And how many years did Quirrell teach DADA ... because he had just recently returned from a sabbatical in Albania when he met Harry for the first time.
