I’ve spent some time wondering at Dumbeldore’s rational for hiring Gilderoy Lockhart and I’ve reached the following conclusion.

When Dumbledore met Lockhart, all he thought was “Oh, this is going to be hilarious.”

I always got the vibe that Dumbledore was like, “there is no possible way for this man to be a Death Eater,” and hired him on the spot.

Yep. “Not a Death-Eater” and “Entertaining” were his motives for hiring teachers. A teacher being able to actually TEACH THE SUBJECT doesn’t seem to have ever made the list of requirements.

Lupin seemed to do well at actually teaching the subject though
