She's the ancient studies professor (since 1871) and Ravenclaw's HoH (since 1883), so not only is she Thomas' co-worker now but he also would've probably been vaguely aware of her from his own time as a student in Hogwarts as well. Thea has made it her duty to keep tabs on all new professors to make sure they're adjusting and coping well, so she would've definitely tried to make Thomas feel welcome in the school when he first started.

Thank you for the welcome! Omg, somehow I love the idea of Tom knowing her as a professor but also as a colleague, even though he never took her class. It just makes me think of like Snape being a professor or Neville under people they learned from. Thomas would be more than happy that Thea is taking the time to help him get settled as he's definitely looking to other professors for guidance. He's probably like, super respectful in more than the usual way - like he's talking to her still as an authority figure rather than a colleague just out of habit.
