a) It's a fantasy world full of wizards, I wasn't sure how VICTORIAN it was supposed to be.

b) Harry Potter is set in contemporary times.

c) Is there some kind of Wizarding rule regarding teachers and whether or not they are allowed to procreate?

d) Plenty of real-life teachers have children.

e) The wording of this secret was poor and made it appear that being a teacher and being a psychopath were similar things.

Is there some kind of Wizarding rule regarding teachers and whether or not they are allowed to procreate?

No they are allowed to both procreate and be married. Rowling never really goes into the personal lives of any of the teachers but Dumbledore though.

I mean, at the very least, Tonks and Lupin are teachers and weren't they in a relationship?

[(Anonymous)]

Tonks wasn't a teacher, and Lupin didn't have his kid until long after he left Hogwarts.

The books do seem to indicate that none of the teachers have children, unless every teacher who has kids has ones that are old enough that they're part of the student body or have left already. Because the teachers live in the castle, if they had children it would be likely that their spouse/child would live in the castle with them rather than only seeing each other on weekends. Rowling does say that Neville later becomes a teacher and lives above the Leaky Cauldron with his wife. But that doesn't seem to be the case for any of the teachers through the course of the series, who show up inside Hogwarts at all times of the night (and Hermione would mention that you can't apparate in or out of Hogwarts, so). Snape and McGonagall both appear at one point or another in their pajamas, so they're sleeping there. (of course maybe it is more expected for Heads of House to live in the castle so they're available to the students).
