I'm a teacher myself, and one of the most horrifying moments for me was when Remus used the boggart as a teaching tool. Really? Seriously? Putting the students' worst fears out on display? What was he planning to do when the boggart turned into a molesting uncle or a dying mother? He's an awful teacher, and behaves badly most of the time. He gets points because he's soft-spoken and seems vaguely pitiable, but he's self-serving and thoughtless most of he time.
