Actually, I think the next DADA teacher may well be the real Mad Eye Moody. JKR
has said we'll get to see what he's like, and that he's even cooler than Crouch
pretending to be him.

LOL!

Anyone want to bet that Snape hasn't really asked for the job? I mean the kids
keep talking about it, but we never hear *him* say so. Not that he wouldn't like
to have it, perhaps, but he seems to be a darn good potions teacher, and there
may be good strategy reasons for him not to be in the DADA spot... but be seen
as wanting to be. An obvious piece of "bait" for the other side to try to tempt
him with.

Astrology is covered in Divination. Remember those awful charts? And Ron's
hysterical quote about Neptune appearing with two moons or whatever it was?
