Don't forget Neville's Gran.  If it's *not* a female in book 5, what about
someone else from the "old crowd?  Mundungus Fletcher perhaps?  We don't
know much about him, but it does seem like he'd be a real character.  Still,
everywhere I look I get the definite impression JKR meant book 5 would have
a female DADA teacher.

Interesting possibility, though I think Harry'll be keeping her too busy in
the hospital wing.  Unless there's another good healer lurking somewhere.
His injuries are getting progressively worse.  Though there probably won't
be any Hungarian Horntails in book 5, but you never know.
