[HPforGrownups] Moody thoughts

One thing I've wondered: might the REAL Mad-Eye Moody be the DADA teacher next year?  After all, he did agree to take the position.  And sure, he was kidnapped and tied up in a trunk for months--but might he be recovered enough after the summer to come back and take the job next year?  Or is he more likely to say (esp. after the events at the end of GoF, showing that
Voldemort is on the loose again) that upon thinking it over, thanks but no thanks--think I'll retire and work on my golf game instead.

It's fun to have a new DADA teacher each year--but it might be interesting to have a bloke around next year who is called Mad-Eye Moody and looks like the Mad-Eye Moody we had last year, but has a totally different personality.  Maybe he's soft-spoken and enjoys birdwatching.

(On second thought, he'd have to be pretty similar to the persona Barty Crouch Jr affected all year; otherwise it wouldn't be convincing that Barty Crouch Jr fooled Dumbledore all year.)

Any guesses as to who/what next year's DADA teacher might be?  (I'm hoping for a woman, myself.)
