I'm just rereading ps/ss and have a couple of thoughts about the beginning 
of chapter 5 - Diagon Alley

Hagrid commented that Quirrell was fine when he taught from books, but when 
he took a year out he came back scared of his own shadow. This implies that 
Quirrell taught DADA at some point before Harry's first year. And that 
Hagrid had socialised enough with him after he came back from Romania (I 
think it was there!) to know how different he was, and how scared he had 
become. But isn't the DADA job cursed? Nobody lasts in it longer than a 
year?
