"The (Dark Arts) teacher is a key character in the Harry Potter series, and a new one is introduced in each book. "
So the dark arts teach is like the Red shirts in Star Trek?
Except that you know it's the bad guy?

Yes, it's a bit of a running joke in the story that Hogwarts is unable to keep a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for more than a year. The main characters make mention of it in later books.
That said, the teachers have not all been "bad guys."

they mention it in nearly every book. I think it was probably even mentioned in the first movie.
Guilderoy Lockhart was not really a bad guy/evil. Just an egomanical con man.Originally posted by: Syran
Professor Lupin was pretty much the only truly non-badguy dark arts teacher.
Some of the others, while bad guys, did teach him a bit (mainly Snape & Crouch Jr (as Mad Eye)
The rest were just bloody useless.
