Why Didnt Snape Get the Defense Against the Dark Arts Job

Defense force Against the Dark Arts (abbreviated as DADA) was a bailiwick taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.^[13] In this class, students studied and learnt how to defend themselves against all aspects of the Dark Arts, including night creatures,^{[21] [24] [25]} curses, hexes and jinxes (night charms),^[22] and duelling.^[xx]

The class was a core subject at Hogwarts.^[26] The position of Defense force Confronting the Night Arts professor at the school was in one case rumoured to be jinxed, as no teacher could hold the post for more than a year without suffering an unpleasant fate. Tom Riddle jinxed the position because Albus Dumbledore did non give him the task when he applied for it.^[two] The fact that no instructor has lasted longer than a year meant that the subject field had numerous Professors over the years.^[20]

Ilvermorny began educational activity the subject in the 17th century.^[13] Harry Potter would occasionally deliver Defense Against the Night Arts lectures at Hogwarts in his adulthood.^[27]

Class information

"The Dark Arts, are many, varied, always-changing, and eternal. Fighting them is similar fighting a many-headed monster, which, each time a neck is severed, sprouts a head even fiercer and cleverer than before. You lot are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible. Your defences must therefore be every bit flexible and inventive as the arts you seek to undo."

— Professor Snape discussing Defence Against the Dark Arts during a 6th yr lesson in 1996^[src]

Defence Against the Nighttime Arts was a required subject from beginning yr to fifth year.^{[26] [18]} The curriculum of the class varied greatly depending on what the professor at the time deemed appropriate. Due to the jinx on the instruction postal service that was nowadays earlier Lord Voldemort died, many teachers had been appointed to this post.^[2]

A tertiary year practical exam, an obstruction form

Tom Riddle twice applied for the Defence Confronting the Nighttime Arts position, the first time presently after graduation from Hogwarts when he was turned downward by Headmaster Armando Dippet, who claimed he was too young but invited him to re-apply a few years later.

Many years subsequently, after becoming steeped in the Night Arts and starting to apply the title "Lord Voldemort", he visited the school and applied again, this time to Dumbledore. He was refused again. According to Albus Dumbledore, later on the second refusal, no Defence force Against the Dark Arts instructor held the mail service for more than i school twelvemonth. Dumbledore believed that this was due to Voldemort placing a jinx on the position, a belief that was popularly spread throughout the school.^[ii]

1994 Defense Against the Night Arts lesson on the Unforgivable Curses

The lessons generally had a applied arroyo, with the cases of competent teachers believing that when it came to the Dark Arts a practical approach was the best way,^{[21] [22] [20]} with theoretical assignments given as homework.^[28] Inadequate teachers, such equally Quirinus Quirrell and Dolores Umbridge, who were focused on theories alone, hampered the learning of defences as they would not exist providing students any practical experiences.^{[xviii] [29]}

In the fifth year, Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations were taken; as such, students spent their time learning new topics and possibly revisiting the past four years of lessons (depending on the teacher). As role of their Defence Against the Dark Arts O.West.Fifty., students had to sit down a written exam one of the questions asks to describe the five signs of a werewolf^[thirty] and later students must complete a applied exam of; counter-jinxes, defensive spells, the Boggart-Banishing Spell, and the Patronus Charm (for bonus points).^[31]

To advance to the N.Due east.W.T. class, a educatee had to showtime achieve a loftier O.Due west.L. score of either "Outstanding" or "Exceeds Expectations"; most teachers set the bar at "Exceeds Expectations".^[32]

Also, due to the class existence direct related to the Nighttime Arts itself, Dark Wizards who wished to teach would typically apply for this course, notably being Tom Riddle,^[2] Patricia Rakepick,^[33] Quirinus Quirrell,^[34] Bartemius Crouch Junior,^[7] Dolores Umbridge,^[35] Severus Snape^[ix] and Amycus Carrow.^[36]

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were two known students who failed their O.W.50.s in Defence Against the Dark Arts, for which the following twelvemonth's respective teacher, Snape, gave them both detentions.^[37]

The Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher was also responsible for dealing with any Dark Arts related activities that threaten the school and its residents, as Harry and Ron expected Lockhart to enter the Chamber of Secrets and protested against his excuse of leaving under an unavoidable urgent call in 1993,^[38] while Snape was assigned to staunch the mortiferous expletive that affected Katie Bell in 1996.^[39]

Location and time

Classrooms

Defense Confronting the Dark Arts classes took identify on the first-floor, Form 104 in the North Tower and Classroom 3C on the third-floor. In Classroom 3C, an iron chandelier hung from the ceiling, besides equally a dragon's skeleton.^[14] On one terminate of the classroom stood a projector that was activated by magic. Several desks and tables could be establish in the classroom likewise as some sets of large windows.^[17]

Curriculum

"You have had five teachers in this subject field so far, I believe. Naturally, these teachers will all have had their ain methods and priorities. Given this confusion I am surprised so many of you lot scraped an O.W.L. in this subject area. I shall be even more surprised if all of y'all manage to keep upwards with Due north.Eastward.Westward.T. work, which will be much more advanced."

— Professor Snape on the curriculum's instability^[src]

Due to the constant changing of teachers until the jinx created by Voldemort was broken, the curriculum of Defense Against the Dark Arts varied from twelvemonth to year.^{[20] [2]} Each instructor had their own priorities and mode of teaching, and their own respective efficiency proportional to his or her beliefs and methods,^[20] such as Quirinus Quirrell and Dolores Umbridge believing that theories were enough (which were, in fact, more than hindering),^[29] while the more than effective Remus Lupin,^[21] Bartemius Crouch Inferior^[22] (then disguised as Alastor Moody with Polyjuice Potion)^[7] and Severus Snape^[20] had a more balanced conventionalities in theory and practical defence.

6th-years were supposed to be given demonstrations on what illegal curses looked like; information technology was only in the 1994–1995 school year that this was changed to the fourth twelvemonth.^[22]

Earlier teachers from the 1985–1986 school year for case, were considered highly incompetent and ineffective by most students, and as such, very rarely showed upward to teach.^{[40] [41] [42] [43]}

Patricia Rakepick teaching Defence Against the Nighttime Arts to 5th-years

During the 1988–1989 school twelvemonth, the renowned Curse-Billow Patricia Rakepick was appointed as the Defence force Against the Dark Arts instructor for that academic year.^[3] She proved herself to be a highly effective teacher of both defensive and offensive magic, having taught her students a wide variety of fascinating and useful topics during her lessons, to recoup her students for having learnt almost zip in previous years. She even gave her select students private lessons in the subject field, educational activity them how to duel, in preparation for locating the Cursed Vaults throughout the Castle.^{[iii] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56]}

Bill Weasley teaching a grouping of 6th-years DADA in the evening

During the 1989–1990 schoolhouse year, Beak Weasley was given permission past Albus Dumbledore to teach extra-curricular evening classes in this subject to students after graduating the schoolhouse, due to the ineffectiveness of the education that year.^[57] He continued education these lessons in the 1990–1991 school twelvemonth also.^[58]

Quirrell education Defence Against the Nighttime Arts

In the 1991–1992 school twelvemonth, Quirinus Quirrell taught mainly theoretical noesis,^[59] which, four years later, the Ministry building deemed he was the only instructor earlier Dolores Umbridge to exist of acceptable standards. Nonetheless, the Ministry at the time was corrupt and paranoid, thus their evaluation of Quirrell'south effectiveness was inaccurate.^[29] In fact, while he was a studious intellectual, his practical aspect was severely hampered by his timid and stuttering nature, leading him unable to teach properly, which caused many students consider his classes to be a joke, and failed to accept him seriously.^{[26] [59]}

Lockhart "teaching" Defence force Confronting the Dark Arts

In the 1992–1993 schoolhouse year, Gilderoy Lockhart, fraudulent and incompetent, taught zippo to the classes of his respective tenure, bated from nonsensical and unrelated materials, considering that he was hired solely by Albus Dumbledore for the purpose of ousting him every bit a fraud to the world.^[60] His lectures were merely storytelling and theatrical re-enactments from his books, since his get-go applied lesson ended in a disaster that he failed to incorporate (involving live "freshly caught" Cornish Pixies),^[23] and his idea of homework was for the class to compose a verse form of one of his alleged achievements with the offer of a signed copy of his autobiography to the all-time composer.^[61]

Lockhart simply using the form to promote his uninformative publications, Ron Weasley claimed that the but affair he learned from it was "not to set pixies loose", and expressed his desire to drop out of the course mainly of Lockhart'south incompetence.^[62] In belatedly 1992, Lockhart also established a very before long lived and unsuccessful Duelling Club with the help of Severus Snape, in an effort to teach students how to defend themselves; the club only had ane meeting which resulted in consummate chaos.^[63]

Lupin educational activity Defence Against the Dark Arts

In the 1993–1994 schoolhouse year, Professor Lupin was among the most constructive teachers to have taught, as many students under his tutelage agreed upon. He taught practical aspects during the lectures, fifty-fifty bringing in several dark creatures in captivity every bit visual aids, and assigned theoretical aspects for homework. He was besides charismatic, earning the respect of his students, and therefore, making them want to learn from him.^{[21] [24] [25]} Lupin also gave his favourite student Harry Potter additional lessons in how to perform the Patronus Charm, and so he could learn to combat Dementors.^[64] Hermione Granger claimed he was the only teacher among their v (at the time) who knew what he was doing.

"Moody" demonstrating the Killing Curse on a spider during a fourth-yr lesson

In the 1994–1995 school year, Bartemius Crouch Junior, then disguised every bit Alastor Moody using Polyjuice Potion,^[vii] believed firmly in a practical approach. Every bit such, he taught the 4th-yr class on the Unforgivable Curses that were normally reserved for the sixth yr, believing they demand to run across it sooner.^[22] He even performed the Imperius Curse on all the students every bit a means to teach them how to resist information technology.^[65] Although the students establish him to be 1 of the most effective instructors (despite his truthful identity later being revealed to be a criminal), the Ministry found the lessons to be very controversial, and expressed their strong disapproval.^[xviii]

During the 1995–1996 school twelvemonth, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, had deluded himself with the bizarre conspiracy theory that Headmaster Albus Dumbledore was using the students to create a individual army of young witches and wizards to overthrow the Ministry.^[66] As such, he implanted Dolores Umbridge to get the teacher of the Defence Confronting the Nighttime Arts classes, which he believed to be the primary source of training (e.g. defensive spells) for Dumbledore's would-be soldiers.^[18]

Umbridge "didactics" Defence Against the Dark Arts

Umbridge supplied a syllabus based entirely on the theory of conflict rather facing them, all of which was simply reading out of the textbook, believing that this would be sufficient in passing the examinations. Furthermore, she herself did not teach the students, as she had them read the textbooks quietly in class and refused to answer their questions whatever more to silence them.^{[eighteen] [29]} This misguided conventionalities deprived the students on any useful lessons as even the theories are inaccurate, thus leading to the formation on Dumbledore'due south Army, which taught more than applied defence that students from all grades institute more useful.^[67] Umbridge would later claim that the spells Harry taught were deemed by the Ministry inappropriate for students at their ages.^[68]

In the 1996–1997 schoolhouse year, Professor Snape taught his classes to respect the Dark Arts as a unsafe and ever-evolving opponent, and that their defences must exist equally versatile as the foul arts they seek to undo. He imposed a darker atmosphere in the classroom past dimmer lighting and macabre portraits in guild to let the students to accept a firmer understanding of the sufferings the Dark Arts tin bring. Hermione concluded that Snape's ideals were very much the aforementioned equally what Harry Potter expressed during the Dumbledore's Ground forces recruitment coming together: non just memorising a bunch of spells, simply to understand and react appropriately to the situation at hand.^[20] As with Lupin and Hunker, Snape taught practically during the lectures, and assigned theories for homework.

Every bit with every other course that required practical spells, sixth-years were taught nonverbal spell usage,^[20] and were expected to utilize them in course from and so on.^[69]

In the 1997–1998 school year, the class was inverse to Dark Arts during Voldemort'due south takeover of the schoolhouse. It was taught by the Death Eater Amycus Carrow, who taught students how to perform the Unforgivable Curses, with a item accent with ordering students to practise the Cruciatus Curse on disobedient students,^[36] forth with the summoning of Fiendfyre.^[70]

First year

"The form everyone had really been looking forward to was Defence force Against the Dark Arts, merely Quirrell's lessons turned out to be a bit of a joke. His classroom smelled strongly of garlic, which everyone said was to ward off a vampire he'd met in Romania and was agape would be coming back to get him one of these days."

— DADA lessons with Quirrell as the professor^[src]

2d year

"Now — be warned! It is my job to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizardkind! You may find yourselves facing your worst fears in this room. Know only that no harm can befall you whilst I am here. All I enquire is that y'all remain calm. I must ask y'all not to scream. Information technology might provoke them."

— Lockhart introducing Cornish Pixies^[src]

Third year

"Professor Lupin had complied the virtually unusual exam any of them had ever taken; a sort of obstacle class outside in the sun, where they had to wade across a deep paddling pool containing a Grindylow, cross a series of potholes total of Reddish Caps, squish their manner across a patch of marsh while ignoring misleading directions from a Hinkypunk, and so climb into an old torso and battle with a new Boggart."

— The third yr Defence force Against the Dark Arts test in 1994^[src]

Students during the 1993–1994 schoolhouse year, under the significantly high quality of teaching under Remus Lupin, learnt about numerous nighttime creatures and how to handle them appropriately.^{[21] [24] [25] [77] [78]}

Fourth year

"So — straight into it. Curses. They come in many strengths and forms. Now, according to the Ministry of Magic, I'm supposed to teach y'all countercurses and leave it at that. I'm not supposed to bear witness you lot what illegal Dark curses expect like until y'all're in the 6th year. You're not supposed to exist old enough to deal with it till so. But Professor Dumbledore's got a higher opinion of your fretfulness, he reckons you can cope, and I say, the sooner y'all know what you're up against, the better."

— Barty Crouch Jnr (disguised as Alastor Moody) on his arroyo of the subject^[src]

Students witnessed the three Unforgivable Curses used on spiders.^[22] They were also given lessons on resisting the Imperius Expletive, in which Harry Potter was the only 1 successful in his grade.^[65] These demonstrations were during the 1994-1995 schoolhouse year only and the Unforgivable Curses are commonly covered in the sixth year Northward.E.West.T. class.^[22]

Fifth year

1988–1989 school year

"I am not just going to show yous how to defend yourselves against the Nighttime Arts, but how to assail the Nighttime Arts. Yous will receive the finest instruction from someone who has really faced the worst that the Dark Arts has to offer. They say this position is cursed, just breaking curses is what I exercise all-time."

— Patricia Rakepick's arroyo to pedagogy the bailiwick^[src]

Patricia Rakepick was the Professor in this bailiwick for the 1988–1989 schoolhouse year, in which she taught her fifth year students a wide multitude of highly interesting and useful topics, carefully balancing both theoretical and applied knowledge and skills.

1995–1996 schoolhouse year

"Well now, your pedagogy in this subject area has been rather disrupted and fragmented, hasn't it? The constant irresolute of teachers, many of whom do non seem to accept followed whatsoever Ministry-canonical curriculum, has unfortunately resulted in your existence far below the standard we would expect to see in your O.W.L. yr. Yous will be pleased to know, however, that these problems are now to exist rectified. Nosotros volition be following a carefully structured, theory-centred, Ministry-canonical course of defensive magic this year."

— Dolores Umbridge's excuse for depriving students of practical defence^[src]

Sixth year

"You will now divide... into pairs. One partner will attempt to jinx the other without speaking. The other will effort to repel the jinx in equal silence. Carry on."

— A N.E.W.T. lesson on nonverbal spells^[src]

Official curriculum

"I've decided to visit Hogwarts from time to time to teach you new defensive spells. This is all informal, of form. I'm not replacing your professor, just tutoring."

— Bill Weasley explaining his tutoring lessons to 6th years^[src]

During the 1989–1990 school yr, Bill Weasley was given permission by Albus Dumbledore to give evening classes in this subject field later on graduating Hogwarts, due to the ineffectiveness of the teaching that school year.^[57]

7th year

Known professors

Hogwarts Schoolhouse of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"There is a new Defense force Confronting the Night Arts teacher, and that position is now as safe equally the other teaching posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort'southward decease broke the jinx that kept a Defence force Against the Dark Arts professor from remaining for more than than a yr."

— J. Thou. Rowling stated the jinx on the DADA post has been lifted^[src]

• Unidentified 19th-century Defence Against the Dark Arts professor (c. 1890) ^[98]
• Galatea Merrythought (?–1945) ^[2]
• Unidentified professor (1984–1985) ^[xl]
• Unidentified professor (1985–1986) ^[41]

• Unidentified professor (1987–1988) ^[43]
• Unidentified professor (1989–1990) ^[57]
• Unidentified professor (1998–?) ^[99]

During the time between the commencement of Voldemort's jinx and when information technology was somewhen broken, there was at least ane professor per yr. Therefore, between c. 1965 and 1990 (the year before Harry began studying at Hogwarts) there could be around xx-v dissimilar professors in the position.^[100]

Severus Snape served as a substitute instructor during the 1993–1994 school year, when Remus Lupin was feeling sick.^[79]

Harry Potter occasionally gave lectures on the subject.^[27]

Backside the scenes

• When J. K. Rowling was asked why Dumbledore would not give Severus Snape the Defence Against the Dark Arts job, Rowling responded that Dumbledore believed that education Defence Against the Nighttime Arts would bring out Snape'southward worst side,^[106] though Dumbledore finally relented in Harry's 6th yr.^[107] Snape admitted to Bellatrix Lestrange that reason during their chat in Spinner'south End.^[108]
• Rowling has also revealed that afterwards Amycus Carrow was the Nighttime Arts teacher, a permanent teacher took the post considering Voldemort's jinx over the job was lifted.
• Whilst it is known that Dumbledore did not wish Professor Snape to teach DADA for fearfulness of relapsing into his Expiry Eater ways, it is also possible that (since the discipline had been jinxed) he was also thinking of Snape'south physical well-being (non to the lowest degree of all because of how much of importance he could have been, and was, in the long run). Despite Dumbledore's fear, however, Snape did not truly render to his old ways when granted the position he sought for, though he did teach the lessons with a sense of passion for the Dark Arts.
• Each Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher attacked (or attempted to attack) Harry.
  • Quirrell tried to strangle Harry and jinxed his broom during a Quidditch game.
  • Lockhart attempted to erase his memories
  • Lupin went after him as a werewolf (although he alone out of all the others would never have attacked Harry if he had been in his human being form)
  • Barty Hunker Jnr (disguised equally Moody) tried to kill him.
  • Umbridge physically assaulted him and threatened him with the Cruciatus Curse (and had previously sent Dementors to assail him, though this was before she taught the subject).
  • Snape attacked Harry in retaliation for Harry trying to curse him during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower.
  • Ironically, Amycus Carrow, who taught Dark Arts instead of Defense force Against the Night Arts, was attacked by Harry Potter after Amycus had insulted Minerva McGonagall.
• Dolores Umbridge was the but female Defence Against the Nighttime Arts teacher in the serial likewise Galatea Merrythought; Galatea was not seen throughout the series, simply mentioned.
• The 6 professors of this field of study who taught Harry each had a nighttime secret that he did not acquire until almost the end of their respective school years:
  • Quirrell was serving Voldemort and was possessed by him.
  • Lockhart was a cowardly fraud who covertly stole the achievements of others.
  • Lupin was a werewolf.
  • Moody was actually Barty Crouch Jnr, an escaped Decease Eater.
  • Umbridge was the i who sent the Dementors that attacked Harry and Dudley.
  • Snape was the one who had reported the prophecy to Voldemort and was the Half-Blood Prince.
• During his tenure as Potions Master, Severus Snape but accepted students who accomplished an 'Outstanding' on their OWLs into his NEWT-level Potions classes. However, when Snape became the Defence Confronting the Dark Arts teacher in the 1996–1997 school twelvemonth, students who achieved 'Exceeds Expectations' were still allowed to have the NEWT-level DADA classes.
• The only book to have twice been assigned for this subject is The Night Forces: A Guide to Cocky-Protection.
• Near of the Defence Against the Nighttime Arts teachers in Harry's six years at Hogwarts followed a like pattern: each (with the exception of Quirrell and Snape).
  • They were an entirely new instructor; each was chosen out of necessity, due to the loss of the previous instructor and the absenteeism of other applicants
  • each meets Harry before he arrives at Hogwarts in the respective year (with the exception of Mad-Centre Moody, who was but mentioned in passing, although Harry had unknowingly encountered Barty Crouch Jnr at the Quidditch World Loving cup)
  • and each physically (or magically) attacks Harry during school term, either intentionally or accidentally, as in the case of Remus Lupin.
• In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when discussing who their new Defence Confronting the Dark Arts teacher would be, Harry said that the teachers didn't have much luck: "1 sacked, i expressionless, one lost his memory, and one was locked in a trunk for nine months," referring to Lupin, Quirrell, Lockhart, and Moody, respectively; this isn't true, however, because Lupin resigned rather than was fired. Also, Crouch Jnr, the de facto teacher for Harry'south quaternary year, suffered the Dementor's Buss.
• Quirinus Quirrell is the only Defence Confronting The Dark Arts teacher known to have died during the yr he gave the subject field.
• According to Pottermore, from the best to worst Defence Against the Night Arts instructor during the seven years of Harry's education:
  1. Remus Lupin, for his fair, popular and effective teaching methods.
  2. Severus Snape, for his effective, qualified yet strict methods.
  3. Gilderoy Lockhart, for his fraudulence, pedagogy about himself more than about defence.
  4. Barty Crouch, for his allegiance with Voldemort, despite his actual teaching effectiveness.
  5. Amycus Carrow, for turning the class into just Dark Arts and his fell discipline methods.
  6. Dolores Umbridge, for depriving the class of any practicality and her scarring disciplinary methods.
  7. Quirinus Quirrell, for having Voldemort at the back of his head.
• In Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, if players accept Jacob'due south sibling to the O.W.L. through an optional side quest, they volition definitely gain at least an A, even if they fail to respond every question and perform any defensive spells.
• In the early video games, creatures such equally Fire Crabs, Fire Abode Salamanders (which are canonically small, non-aggressive lizards) and Streelers are covered in Defense force Against the Nighttime Arts classes. However, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Discover Them confirms that these creatures are not dark creatures, nor very dangerous, and Burn down Crabs (a highly protected species) and Streelers (domesticated as pets) are in fact taught and handled in Care of Magical Creatures instead, meaning their inclusion on the Defence Confronting the Dark Arts curriculum is not canon. Several games as well depict gnomes every bit being covered in the class, which seems rather odd considering they are simply harmless (albeit abrasive) garden pests, and are not considered dark or unsafe.
• Besides in the early on video games, spells such equally the Softening Amuse or Seize and pull charm are taught in this grade, despite these spells seemingly not having any defensive or offensive qualities. It is likely these spells were taught in this form purely for game-play reasons.
• In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, in Gilderoy Lockhart's first Defence force Confronting the Dark Arts lesson, Lockhart teaches his students the Freezing Charm for combating Pixies.^[83] Withal, this lesson cannot be considered catechism, since it fundamentally contrasts this lesson's depiction in the 2d book.
