I vote for Molly Weasley as the mysterious female DADA teacher. Talk about plot
twists and red herrings... it sure would be a surprise to Ron, as well.
(Suddenly a scene from a Simpson's Halloween episode flashes to mind: Marge is
revealed as the evil head vampire, and points out to the shocked kids, "I do
have a life outside this house, you know." :)

Ok, I know that's a pretty big leap, even for JKR. Actually, my money's on
Arabella Figg, secret guardian of young Harry and breeder of world-champion
kneazles. ;)

sorted into Ravenclaw... ok, time to read something else before bed....)
