Did Rowling say the peer-teacher would appear in book five? My first guess
is Neville Longbottom... he has a gift for Herbology and,
having been a perpetually disadvantaged student, he knows what it's like to
struggle over schoolwork. He also seems the kind of
unassuming and patient person parents like to see at the head of classrooms.

I don’t know if this has been brought up before, but who says that the
student-teacher will in fact be a student-teacher? Maybe the student will at
some point become a teacher, not necessarily in book five. I don’t know if
it was specified by JKR that the teacher would appear in Book Five, but I
see it as more logical that one of Harry’s peers will become a teacher after
he/she graduates. I really doubt that parents will appreciate having their
children being taught by other students.
