Early life
Armando Dippet was born in October 1637, and it is likely that he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. If so, he must have been Sorted into either Gryffindor, Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, but certainly not Slytherin, in 1649. If he went through his magical education at Hogwarts, he would have graduated at the age of eighteen in 1656. What he did after his graduation is unknown, although Armando Dippet seemed to have been held in high regard in his old age, since he was eventually...
Retirement
Professor Dippet's term as headmaster ended between March 1965 and March 1971. His immediate successor in the post was Professor Albus Dumbledore, who had been Dippet's Head of Transfiguration. The prominence of Dippet's tenure as Headmaster is highlighted by the fact that he even got a Chocolate Frog Cardmade in his effigy, due to his work as chief administrator of Hogwarts. At some point, Rita Skeeter published her bestselling biography titled Armando Dippet: Master or Moron?, which, given...
Death and post-Morten
In the 1 September 1992 edition of the Evening Prophet, he was being suspected of causing an accident only a month before his ancient age flying test on his 355th birthday. Dippet died in late 1992. After his death, the late Headmaster was allowed to leave behind an imprint of himself in the form of a portrait mounted on the wall of the Headmaster's office along with other revered Headmasters and Headmistress.In doing this, he effectively ensured that he in some capacity could continue to pos...
Professor Dippet had pale skin, brown eyes and, in his youth, a thick brown beard. In his elderly years, he became frail and feeble-looking. He was balding and had only a few wisps of white hairleft.
As made evident by his portrait in the Headmaster's Office, he was apparently a very proud man who for the most part held himself with dignity and solemnity at all but the most trying of times, in which case he would, over time, look very feeble and tired after having to cope with such troubles at his age. Very loyal to Hogwarts, Professor Dippet g...

Dippet was very fond of Tom Riddle, whom he made several "special arrangements" for. His relationship with him was strong enough to make Dumbledore decide not to tell Dippet about why he thought Riddle should not be given a job at the school.
Hogwarts staff
Professor Dippet was, apparently, distrusting of his employees, confiding only in a few professors, which included the Transfiguration teacher Albus Dumbledore. As headmaster, Dippet placed Silvanus Kettleburn on at least one, but presumably many more, of his sixty-two periods of probation. The one known time was after he provided an Ashwinder with an Engorgement Charm on it instead of a worm for the The Fountain of Fair Fortunepantomime. Dippet, after the chaos, placed a permanent ban on pan...
