Divination Club: Trelawney vs Firenze

[xfortytwo.livejournal.com]

Activity: 24 hour debate: Trelawney vs Firenze
Points: Participation 10pts, Additional comment: 5pts. 30pts limit.
Deadline: October 28th at 2 AM UTC (Timezones) (which is in the evening October 27th for US-ers, just to make sure no one is confused!)
Details:

I have a question on my roster where I ask people if they prefer Trelawney or Firenze and it's pretty much split down the middle, so now I'm really curious about your reasons!

Which one do you prefer: Trelawney or Firenze?
Why?

And here are some additional thoughts/questions if you run out of things to talk about regarding Trelawney and Firenze:
Are there any other character in HP verse that you think would fit the position as Divination Professor?
How do you think Divination classes would've been if Snape taught them?

Please leave a fairly substantial reasoning for your choice. I want at least a few lines of reasoning.
- Your replies to others should also have substance and not only be 'I agree!', etc. Points for further comments are at my discretion :)
- Be respectful in your replies, guys. Disagreeing is allowed, but be cool about it!

If Snape taught, I think the class would be empty. lol I dunno he just doesn't seem like he'd fit in as a Divinations professor. I had chosen Firenze because he seems so insightful and would enjoy a good discussion. Trelawney, while I do love her, she seems to be able to have her moments few and far between. Granted I haven't re-read the books in a while (I have to pace myself otherwise I get really bad headaches, and reading while you're ill... not a good idea lol), but from what I remember, Firenze had more knowledge towards things. I really need to read these books again (I would now but I'm reading two books a friend of mine has published... gah I need to make a reading list for myself!).
