My theory is that Harry's godmother is the next DADA teacher -- Mrs. 
Figg.  Makes sense.  I've heard the next DADA teacher is a woman, and 
Mrs. Figg has certainly been acting in a protective capacity toward 
Harry for years.  She obviously knows DADA if she has protected Harry 
at the Dursleys.  I think Mrs. Figg will be central to Book 5.

We'll see.
