One of the things that I've always loved about the Harry Potter series is the fact that while many of the teachers we've seen pass through Hogwarts hallowed halls are over-blown and comical, we can still see a lot of the characteristics of our own instructors in them. I've certainly had at least one Trelawney, and more than one McGonagall, but there's a wealth of teachers, (most of them former DADA) to choose from that we might be able to compare our own experiences to.

So, which of your teachers really remind you of a Hogwarts instructor, and why?


Sorry if this has been posted before, but I looked and couldn't find anything like it.

Cheers!!!
