I know I started it, but never completed the list.  Here are some of 
my suggestions:

Sirius: Michael Wincott
Lupin: Hugh Grant
Barty, Jr. Ewan McGregor (That would have been a kickass cameo!)
Rita: Tracy Ullmann or be daring and put Downtown Julie Brown (LOL)
Trelawney:  I had Emma Thompson!
Lockhart: I had Kenneth Branagh!
Umbridge: Imelda Stauton (sp?)
New Dumbledore: Peter O'Toole
Mundungus: Ian Holm
Mrs. Figg: Phyllida Law
Narcissa: Kristin Scott Thomas
Bellatrix: Miranda Richardson
Snape:  Was meant for Alan Rickman.  I'm convinced he is based on the 
Sheriff of Nottingham from Prince of Thieves.
