Just because he has people's pictures doesn't mean he hacked anything. If you can see a person's profile at all then you can save their pictures.

When did you set it to private? Facebook changes their security setup all the time (in fact they recently changed it again) so you have to check your privacy settings constantly to make sure nothing got changed.

If the teacher truly did break into a student's account then YES, that is VERY VERY illegal. It actually doesn't matter if you were logged on at school or not, accessing someone else's profile counts as unauthorized access into Facebook's servers, which the school does not own and has no rights to.
