Lupin was the teacher that cared about his students the most.

He also was Harry's favorite teacher.

NOTE: Moody wan't posessed he was locked in the trunk, and Crouch Jr. was drinking polyjuice potion to look like him.

snape was my favorite, only because all the times we saw in his class were hilarious.

Snape was pretty good, but he ruined Harry's favorite subject, even though by taking the job he could make sure Harry had a shot at being an Auror

I think Lupin was the best. But if it was the real Moody, and not Barty Jr. I think he could have taught the kids the most.

If it were the real Moody then I would choose him, for sure. BUT, seeing as how it wasn't I would have to say Lupin. He made the classes the most exciting and cared most about the students, helped save not only Harry's, but Sirius's life as well (By teaching Harry the Patronus Charm)

I'm debating! I think Lupin was an excellent teacher. He took a practical, hands-on approach...and he was inspiring, which is important in a teacher. He really got the students excited about learning.

However....I love Snape. I just love him!

Lupin and Fake Moody were both good. I do love Snape, though.

I voted for Lupin.

Yeah I know. But practically i could've put Barty Crouch Jr. couldn't I? I thought possessed would seem a bit more sensible.

I voted for Lupin, but only because Harry himself was not an option.

And technically he wasn't OFFICIALLY a DADA teacher per se...

I think Lupin is the best DADA prof by far.


How can you say Snape, we never saw him teach DADA, unless you count those three pages in PoA where he insulted Hermione and gave them all an essay to write with the sole purpose of outting Lupin.

Lupin tought the most, but I would've preferred to be in Mad-Eye's classes, it's more practical for what happens later in the book.
