I was reading some JKR Q&A interviews and came across this little 
tidbit....

WBUR "The Connection" October 12, 1999

 Anyway, it's very exciting; we just love Harry Potter, so we're 
curious — well — first of all we can't wait for books four, five, 
six and seven [JKR: OK], but after that, we're curious as to whether 
Harry is going to have a life after Hogwarts? Or if maybe Harry 
might be a Hogwarts teacher?
 
J.K. Rowling:
 Erm, well, because all your kids said hello so nicely in the 
background there, I'm going to give you information I haven't given 
anyone else, and I will tell you that one of the characters — er — 
one of — one of Harry's class mates, though it's not Harry himself, 
does end up a teacher at Hogwarts, but it is not maybe the one you'd 
think — hint, hint, hint! 
So, yes one of them does end up staying at Hogwarts, but — erm ...
Lydon:
 Does the kids want to have a guess at it, Kathleen?
 
Kathleen:
 Do you like to have a guess at who it is?
 
Class:
 Ron
 
Kathleen:
 They say Ron ...
 
J.K. Rowling:
 Noooo — it's not Ron ...
 
Kathleen:
 [to class] it's not Ron ... 
 
J.K. Rowling:
 ... because I can't see Ron as a teacher, no way.
 
J.K.Rowling & Kathleen
 laughs.

Well, well, well.....

The obvious answer (to me, anyway) would be Hermione.  But, the 
right answer isn't the obvious answer.  And it's not Ron.

Hmmmm....

I know this is a fairly minor subplot, but things like this interest 
me, so I thought I'd throw it out to you guys.
