Top 10 Best Hogwarts Teachers and Staff Members

The Top Ten
1 Minerva McGonagall

Only caring about the teaching skills and being balanced and treating students equal, Minerva McGonagall is on the top.

She is such a nice teacher. She has a good sense of balance when it comes to being strict and being fun.

McGonagall is a bad@$$. Period.

2 Albus Dumbledore Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.

Yeah.
He was not telling Harry to go after the stone.
He told Harry not to look for the Mirror of Erised again when he talked Harry.
He even told everyone at the feast at the beginning of the year to not to go to the third floor, which was even locked.
He was not biased to Gryffindor oh my god three students had just saved everyone and they lost 150 house points for being up at night time for forgetting the invisibility cloak, then sent to the Forbidden Forest by Professor McGonagall and Slytherin had won the house cup for 7 years its no big deal.

UMM HELLO! The best wizard ever and the headmaster and the best person. There aren't necessarily extremely specific reasons why he is the best because he just is.

I agree, because he's an exceptionally powerful wizard that he is a one true fear of Volsemort.

Also my favourite character!

3 Rubeus Hagrid Rubeus Hagrid is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J. K. Rowling. Hagrid is introduced in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as a half-giant and half-human who is the gamekeeper and Keeper of Keys and Grounds of Hogwarts, the primary setting for the first six novels. ...read more.

Really? Number three? It should be Hagrid, Snape, McGonagall, Albus. and Hagrid brought Harry from privet drive, Hagrid was unique, Hagrid had awesome pets.

They got a great actor for him! And I have so much respect for him...

Just look at that beard. How can you say no to that?

Loving caring warm and bubbly. Amazing person.

4 Remus Lupin

I got mad at Hermione when she got mad at Lupin cause That was when I would get mad at anyone who judged him for his appearance. I got mad at my favorite character cause of it!(when Ron said if Lupin has that much gold he could by himself some new robes) So... yea.

Remus Lupin has got to be the best teacher ever because his lessons aren't just educational they are also fun and exciting. in my personal opinion I think Remus Lupin is the best Hogwarts teacher ever!

Best teacher ever. His lessons are always interesting and educational.

True, he was only there for one year, but it was a good one.

5 Severus Snape Severus Snape is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. He is characterised as a person of great complexity, whose coldly sarcastic and controlled exterior conceals deep emotions and anguish.

He is awesome. He saves Harry so many times. Severus is one of the most misunderstood characters. Even Professor Dumbledore trusts him!

In my opinion, the order should be
1. Minerva McGonagall
2. Severus Snape
3. Albus Dumbledore

The hero protecting everyone from the shadow.

6 Pomona Sprout
7 Gilderoy Lockhart

I don't think he was that good of a teacher. He was an arrogant idiot.

He's this fat pig of a show off.

8 Filius Flitwick

I love flitwick

9 Horace Slughorn

I was surprised to see that his name was not here. He was the only one that knew about horcruxes and without him Harry wouldn't have been able to know Voldemort's secrets. He was also a great potion master and was considered as a powerful wizard

Thirst for power is a sign of a great teacher.

10 Poppy Pomfrey
The Contenders
11 Alastor Moody
12 Armando Dippet

Well he was Tom Riddle aka Voldy's teacher. And he got rid of the first chamber of secrets opening

13 Rolanda Hooch
14 Sybill Trelawney

Not the best... at all... and she kinda freaked me out, but she definitely should be above Gilderoy Lockhart.

15 Dolores Umbridge
16 Dilys Derwent
17 Neville Longbottom
18 Godric Gryffindor
19 Rowena Ravenclaw
20 Helga Hufflepuff
21 Silvanus Kettleburn

Okay, this guy is ridiculously underrated. But he's awesome! He's a little bit insane, but still pretty lovable. During the Battle of Hogwarts, since he couldn't participate (he had about sixty prosthetics from fooling around with dangerous creatures), he went to the attic and threw his collection of Flobberworms down from the window onto the heads of Death Eaters.
Like, YAS.
