I hope it's someone we haven't met yet.  I'm not particulary 
interested in Mrs. Figg as DADA.  Surely it has to be someone that 
Dumbledore can trust totally and who knows what they are teaching.  
Of course, I'm sure he has always wanted that. He just hasn't had 
much success. Mrs. Figg is probably qualified but I'm hoping for 
someone much younger and less interested in cabbages.

I don't think Hermione is easily intimidated at all.  She is a very 
strong person.  Yet we all have our weak spots.  I'm sure we will see 
her's.
