[Harry Potter] What was Dumbledore thinking would happen when he hired Lupin?

By *Chamber of Secrets*, it is obvious that something is up with the Defence Against the Dark Arts job. Hagrid guesses that the job is jinxed, and Gilderoy Lockhart is literally the only candidate who applies.

*Prisoner of Azkaban* rolls round and Lockhart has naturally got his mind wiped and Dumbledore needs a new DADA teacher. He settles on Remus Lupin. If *Half-Blood Prince* any indication, Dumbledore had had an idea for a while that Voldemort had cursed the position. In that case, why hire Lupin? Lupin was an old comrade from the first war with Voldemort and would definitely be wanted when he returned, so why put such a valuable man in an obviously-cursed position? What did he think was going to happen?

He needed a DADA teacher, and Lupin was desperate for a job (it is incredibly hard to get a job as a Werewolf). So they both ended up helping each other.

What else do you think Lupin should have been doing?
