Name the 7 teachers who teach defence against dark arts in each of Harry Potter novels?

Here are the seven teachers who teach Defence Against the Dark Arts in the Harry Potter books, along with the books they appear in:

1. Professor Quirinus Quirrell (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone): He's possessed by Lord Voldemort.

2. Professor Gilderoy Lockhart (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets): A self-proclaimed expert who actually has little talent.

3. Professor Remus Lupin (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban): A werewolf and a skilled teacher, much loved by the students.

4. Professor Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire): A very skilled Auror, who was unfortunately impersonated by Barty Crouch Jr.

5. Professor Dolores Umbridge (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix): A cruel and authoritarian Ministry of Magic official who disallows any actual Defense Against the Dark Arts instruction.

6. Professor Severus Snape (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince): Although he primarily teaches Potions, he takes over the Defence Against the Dark Arts class in this book.

7. Professor Amycus Carrow (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows): A Death Eater who takes over the class in the seventh book, alongside his sister.
