Dumbledore is quite sure the Defense Against the Dark Arts job is cursed, at least by the time of HBP. Sooo... why didn't he figure out how to break the curse?

Being able to retain a skilled teacher would be pretty compelling. Is Dumbledore really so inferior to Voldemort in regard to curses that he couldn't remove it? Or, if not, couldn't he have created a new position with a new name, and new classes to go along with it? Call it Protection From the Dark Arts or Magical Defense or something.

There are plenty of women who don't have intercourse regularly, but they are less likely than their male counterparts to whine about it.

People have been shitting on superhero movies ever since Green Lantern came out, regardless of who made them.

That's called insecurity.

No.

Prosecution is one possibility. Getting gunned down is another. Getting sent to Gitmo is another. Having your family retaliated against is another.

Not shocking at all unless you've been under a rock and don't know who he is
