How cool wouldn't it be if Rowling released a complete list of Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, detailing their preferred teaching methods, general demeanor, what most students thought about them and for what they were best remembered at Hogwarts. Perhaps how they choose to decorate their classroom and office? Beginning with a short biography of Professor Merrythought and ending it with whomever became permanent Professor in the subject after Voldemort died and his jinx broke.

Also, have anyone invented such pre-Quirrel professors for fun? How are they like?

 

Sounds like an interesting Professor, although canonically, Professor Merrythought held the post throughout Dumbledore's entire schooling and did not retire before in 1945. Tom visited Dumbledore to apply for a job the year he rose to the post of Headmaster, which he did in approximately 1957. But that's nitpick, I still like Professor Fidgen. :-D

 

Right, right. So Professor Fidgen is like, an RP character?

 

Cool, can I see it? :-D

 

Oh... Okay, then...

Marius Ququester:

From the line of Atilius Regulus, this man taught at Hogwarts just after the year in which Grindelwald started his campaign.
Being alone all his life before he started studying at Hogwarts, he made a deep connection with the students, teachers, colleagues and the school itself.
Believed that anyone with the capability of casting magic as welcome in his class, and as such, often taught werewolves in secret.
Was a wandcrafter as well, and as such, can supply the werewolves with wands.
Killed during the reign of Grindelwald after refusing to show a way into Hogwarts, showing the same honesty that his ancestor, Atilius Regulus showed.

 

I always loved the idea that the dark arts defence creature was a dark wizard. I havn't realt thought about it ask the mechanics of magic have always ended up being more interesting to me.
