This is my theory too. She must be skilled in the Defense Against the 
Dark Arts or she wouldn't have been protecting Harry all these years. 
Dumbledore has summoned her, and what better way to keep an eye on 
Harry than to be DADA instructor.

Can't you imagine the first day off class. It's been rumored that the 
new DADA teacher is a woman. In all their hormonal glory, the boys 
have speculated on what exotic adventurer they might get. Low and 
behold it's the old lady that smells like cabbage.

Works for me. ;-)
