about this plot device is that every year you know the prof. isn't going to 
last, but she comes up with a different reason each year. So the first rule 
is that the next three DADA professors can't turn out to be DEs, 
part-humans, fakes who lose their memory, or people with Voldemort attached 
to the back of their heads.**

~  - or people with Voldemort attached to the back of their heads.- I 
laughed outright when I read this linesending Pepsi squirting out my nose 
and onto my desk. (Oww.) I have to agree with you on this point, (nobly 
disregarding the burning pain you caused in my nose :)) I absolutely LOVE 
the revolving door of professors at Hogwarts. What better way to introduce 
new characters into the plot? And if we do see any DADA professors turn out 
to be DEs, part-humans, fakes who lose their memory, or (heres the big 
one:...)people with Voldemort attached to the back of their heads I will 
have a colossal hissy fit.then calmly return to my book and enjoy the way 
JKR portrays the new character, even though Ill hate that its not entirely 
original. But I dont think well have to worry about this anyway.

**The second rule is no repeating the actual teacher. I'm the first person 
to bang on the table and demand more Lupin, but not as DADA professor. **

~  Aha! Yet again, I must agree with you. It would be simply boring for 
Lupin to return to a position weve already seen him in. Lets be nice and 
allow poor Lupin to develop as a character by putting him into situations 
where we can see more of his true personality come out.

**However, since we haven't seen the real Moody, I think he is a fine 
candidate. In fact, it would be very interesting to see how he contrasts 
with his imitator. **

~ Hmmm Im not sure I agree here. Although it would be interesting, I 
absolutely LOVED Moody (well, the fake one anyway) and I dont want to be 
disappointed if Moody turns out to be not as great as Crouch portrayed him. 
Yes, I would like to see the real Moody, but I really dont want Crouch to 
be a better Moody than Moodyoh boy! I think I will only really like the 
true Moody if he really is as brash and unconventional as the fakey. If he 
is Im sure Ill love him!

Sorry for this pretty prolonged and pretty pointless post
