Hello!
My suspicion is Krum. (Can he be considered a 'Peer'?). He is 
eighteen, so he's finished school, and he often mentioned how much he 
liked Hogwarts as oppossed to Durmstrang. The main reason I think it, 
though, is that Rowlings seems to really enjoy the idea of Ron having 
these strong feelings towards Hermione that he can't quite deal with. 
The whole three way relationship thing was never dealt with very 
satisfactorily. I'm sure we will see more 'coming of age' type stuff 
in the next book. The question is, what would he teach? 

Of course my mind leapt to "Dark Arts", and it was mentioned that 
Durmstrang students are well-versed in the Dark Arts. But then I 
remembered that Krum couldn't fight the Imperius curse in the maze 
(and Harry could) so that might not make him the best candidate for 
that job. Perhaps Quidditch coach? Flying? (But what about Hooch?). 
I'd like to see them study Apparating. They've got that test coming 
up, right? Any other suggestions?
