Harry Potter had good reason to distrust Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, given his experiences in his first two years. Lucky for him, Remus Lupin was cut from very different cloth than Quirrel or Lockhart. Lupin is a kind, caring presence in Harry's life , and while Dumbledore certainly was already looking out for Harry, Lupin was a much more available source of comfort and support for the orphaned boy, during the single year he taught him – at least when it wasn't a full moon. An old friend of Harry's parents, he was able to give Harry personal, intimate insight into who they were that no one else had been able to provide.
All that, and he's a werewolf! Lupin doesn't see that as a plus of course, but it's a very cool extra component to the character, as we see this thoughtful, warm man work to control the monster he turns into. And while Lupin's role is lessened after The Prisoner of Azkaban, he remains a dependable figure in Harry's life, a valiant member of the Order of the Phoenix – and eventually, for another character, something even more important.

Brandie Adams: "He's amazing, gentle, forgiving, and he is incredibly tolerant. I absolutely fell in love with him when he defended Harry from the Dementors on the train. I think he was the best DADA teacher ever."
Maeve Kelly: "I think Lupin shows himself to be an all-around good person in the end, fighting many personal battles. And who wouldn't love him as a DADA teacher?"
