Professor Grubbly-Plank

All the recent discussion about the gender balance got me thinking 
about the 'small' character of Professor Grubbly Plank, probably the 
second most female professor. Wait, third, after Professor Sprout. 
Fourth afterProfessor Sinistra, if Sinistra *is* a woman (which I 
reckon she is). Anyway, if I've forgotten some vital female professor 
(which I probably have) then please correct me!

Anyway. The point. JKR's said there'll be a female DADA teacher - 
maybe it'll be Grubbly-Plank? I know she's only taught Care of 
Magical Creatures up to this point in the canon, but she seems to 
know her stuff and would certainly make a strong female character. 
I'd very much like to see her return to the canon, if only for 
another brief stint. She's one of those small, (as yet) 
inconsequential characters who people like anyway... well, I like 
her :) 

By the way, Grubbly-Plank appears in chapter 24 of GoF, 'Rita 
Skeeter's Scoop', if anyone wants to look her up.
