I had been waiting so long to run free, but that goodbye was harder than I ever imagined. I’ll never forget that boy and how we won back our freedom together.

I hate it when people ask “do you trust me” like …don’t call me out like that ……..the answer is no

Ok but someone tell me why Harry didn’t grow up to be the best Defense Against Dark Arts professor Hogwarts has ever known

YES. I can just picture Professors Potter and Longbottom joking about students and the other teachers during meals, playing mini pranks on Headmistress McGonagall, who’d purse her lips and remind them that they were adults, then look away before they could catch the twinkle in her eye. All the students would either have a massive crush on them or admire them or both. Harry is the only teacher capable of taming Teddy (who became known as the prank king, comparable to the Weasley’s twins) and eventually James, Al, and Lily. He develops connections with each of his students and teaches them according to the way he’s noticed they learn best and his classroom becomes a usual hangout for students, as he’s always got food and a “lame dad joke” that everyone secretly loves.

I could go on, but I have to stop myself before I get too into this.

Okay, this now officially drives me nuts because this would have made SO MUCH SENSE. And not only because of Harry’s temperament. Yes, he would have LOVED teaching DADA, but do you know who else wanted to teach DADA? Tom Riddle. Voldemort cursed the position so no one could stay for over a year, and Rowling said that the curse broke upon his death. It would have brought the Prophecy’s plot line to full circle, because it shouldn’t have been anyone other than Harry who became the first un-cursed DADA professor. It would have been just another part Harry vanquished.

When he was filming all the DA stuff in Order of the Phoenix, Daniel Radcliffe chose to wear the Lupin-like cardigan because he thought that Harry would most want to emulate Lupin in the classroom i.e. an adult who taught his students to overcome their fears with solidarity, responsibility, and fun without speaking down to them. And just like Lupin, Harry had a hard past and a secret power that he never wished to have. Can you imagine how proud Lupin would have been to have Harry follow in his footsteps and help kids like Neville Longbottom overcome the things they fear? Harry would have loved to be a teacher at Hogwarts and now I need to sit down and lament that this is not canon in the HP universe.
