I probably would've learned absolutely nothing, but at least it'd make for some GREAT stories to tell people whilst chatting in the corridors
I think this is a great point about having Lockhart as a professor! It probably would be fun to be in his classes. I know I always enjoy the scenes with him in the books and in the films. Definitely not likely to actually learn a ton, and I'm sure that would annoy me at the time, but I'm sure in hindsight I'd find it all hilarious

I was kinda going more off the movie depiction too tbh 'cause it's been awhile since I've done a reread of the books
She's definitely got that warm and friendly vibe to her in my head too! A very pleasant person to be around.

I thought about first hand experience when I decided to go with Remus, but you're absolutely right on Mad Eye having that too ! I feel like he might scare me a little bit, he seems like a 'tough love' kind of guy, but those ones are always the BIGGEST teddy bears at heart, I feel like

We know he was a skilled auror, but that doesn't necessarily translated to a good teacher
So one of the things that interests me about Moody in book 4 being Barty Crouch Jr. in disguise is that...I think most of that probably is how Moody would be if he had been there? Crouch Jr. got away with portraying him for nearly a year, and no one, not even Dumbledore, found him out before the big reveal after Voldemort's return, so he must have been behaving pretty in-character for Moody if no one that knew him thought something was off. Unless I'm forgetting a scene where someone (besides Barty Crouch Sr., I guess?) thought Moody wasn't like himself?
Which is entirely possible because it has been quite awhile since I read it
