An Known Headmaster of Harry Potter Franchise

A Headmaster or Headmistress was an individual who headed the staff of a school, be it Muggle or magical. They had the final say on the safety and the day-to-day functioning of the school; though at Hogwarts, this was with the possible exception of the Board of Governors, and, during the 1995–1996 school year, the "High Inquisitor".

*In , Dumbledore refers to Karkaroff's title as "Highmaster". , however, confirms that the title of Headmaster is used at Durmstrang as well.
*It is unclear if Headmasters must die in office to get a portrait on the wall2007 Accio Quote! Bloomsbury Chat: Laura Trego: Was the absence of snapes portrait in the headmasters office in the last scene innocent or deliberateJ.K. Rowling: It was deliberate. Snape had effectively abandoned his post before dying, so he had not merited inclusion in these august circles.. or if they must simply not abandon (in the sense of betraying, not simply leaving) their position.J.K. Rowling at Carnegie Hall
Q: Is Severus Snape's portrait in the headmaster's office?
JKR: Some have been asking why hasn't the portrait appeared immediately. It doesn't. The reason is that the perception in the castle itself and everyone who was in the castle, because Snape kept his secret so well was that he abandoned his post. So all the portraits you see in the headmaster's study are all headmasters and mistresses who died, it's like British royals. You only get good press if you die in office. Abdication is not acceptable, particularly if you marry and [sic] American. I'm kidding! [laughter] I digress. I know, because I thought this one through, because it was very important to me, I know Harry would have insisted that Snape’s portrait was on that wall, right beside Dumbledore's. [Applause.]
