I have to agree that Fleur isn't a likely candidate,
simply on these grounds.  DADA isn't something that
can be learned purely in books, as Harry has been
finding out!  It takes some real-world experience that
Fleur hasn't had time to accumulate.  (The only person
I might trust for DADA right out of school is Harry!
<g>)  Also, with Voldemort's return, I think
Dumbledore would very likely want someone who had
personal experience during V's last reign in order to
best teach the students how to handle it.

I sincerely hope it's Mrs. Figg, just for the look on
Harry's face when he sees her!! LOL
