HOGWARTS STAFF
Hogwarts has many professors teaching a subject, though each subject has one ”Head Teachers” such as prof. Sprout was the Head of Herbology, prof. Snape was the Potions Master and prof. Flitwick was the Charms Master. Each subject has two teachers working under the Head one who is always someone with especially high marks in the subject, a lot of experience on it, and who usually has worked at the school for numerous years. A class may be taking the subject from any one of them at times, but they always have one ”main teacher” such as First year Gryffendors and Slytherins who started the school with Harry Potter seemed to be taking Potions classes mostly from professor Snape. Because in order to provide the students with consistent teachings each teacher must have their established class-groups which they educate most of the time.
---> Exceptions to the rule: Divination has only one professor as genuine Seers are very rare. And since 1957, Defence Against the Dark Arts has had only one teacher and even he/she has always ended up resigning after one year or earlier – for varying reasons but always for something bad having happened to him/her. It is the common belief that Voldemort cursed that position so, after Dumbledore refused to hire him to said position.
Hogwarts staff includes:
* 53 teachers for the curricular subjects.
* School assistants who help students with special needs. Only from 3 to 5 as such students aren't many.
* A few employees to cover the extra-curricular classes and activities students can take.
* The Headmaster, (a former professor for a curricular subject)
* One Deputy Headmaster, (one of the professors for the curricular subjects)
* One Grounds' Keeper
* One Caretaker
* One Librarian
* A Head Healer, and from 5 to 10 nurses working under her.
----> Approximately 78 staff members.
Any one of them is an authority figure to the students and therefore can interfere when spotting trouble and take away House Points for punishment. But only the curricular subjects' teachers and the Headmaster can assign detention or deliver any other punishment according to what disciplinary methods are allowed at the time. The others need to report a problem to one of them if they believe stricter discipline than House Point deduction is appropriate or needed.
Any one of them is equally responsible for the students and required to help/protect them in any event during school terms.
To become a member of the constant Hogawrts' Staff you must be at least 21-years old, and provide official proof that you are qualified for the position you're applying for as well as responsible enough and safe to work with children. The nurses can be males as well as females, but each of them must have passed their healer education with high marks and already received their license to practice, prior to starting work at Hogwarts. So the youngest healers would be in their mid-twenties due to healer training lasting longer than most other.
The following list is at least during the board timeline (1980-1992) - in some cases may extend to before and/or after.
