Answer 3

The ones i can think of off the top of my head are:

Professer Magonagle

Positions held: Acting Headmistress; departing Head of House - Gryffindor; Professor of Transfiguration

Filius Flitwick

Severus Snape

Positions held: Professor of Potions; Defence Against the Dark Arts; Head of House - Slytherin; Quidditch Referee

Favorite students:Any Slytherin, but probably Draco Malfoy.

Least favorite students: Any student not in Slytherin.

About him:Grew up during the Marauder age, and was constantly taunted by James and Sirius. He seemed to have a troubled life. There are hints at domestic abuse by his muggle father Tobias. He was a death eater, but came to the good side, before Voldie's demise, and so redeemed himself in Dumbledore's eyes. From that point on his life goal was to protect Harry Potter, Lily Evans' son, and ensure his success in defeating the Evil Wizard who killed her. He loved Lily Evans.

Horace Slughorn

Position: Acting Head of House - Slytherin; Potions Prof
