Answer: Professor Snape

Professor Snape finally gets his wish and fills in the DADA teaching post. Snape has been the Potions master for all his teaching days. Horace Slughorn is the Potions master in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince". The DADA job is rumoured to be cursed ever since Tom Riddle (Voldemort) was turned down for it. In Harry's time at Hogwarts the Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers never had much luck! In "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", when Voldemort takes over, Amycus Carrow takes the DADA post, but it wasn't Defence Against the Dark Arts anymore, just the Dark Arts. He taught them evil stuff. He made them do the Cruciatus Curse on people who got detention. When Voldemort was killed the curse was off.
