I like this, (personally I get tired of all the Arabella Fig 
theories – this seems too obvious to me – but maybe that's because of 
all the discussion of it), she has experience of Dark creatures in 
teenage Lupin (it was her responsibility to take him to the willow to 
transform). She definitely knows the cures for injuries/ illness 
caused by dark creatures and curses, ie the dementors and chocolate 
and the girl who cursed her nose off. She can tell the difference 
between a good dada and a bad dada as is shown by her different 
reactions to Lupin and Lockhart.
She would probably make a good DADA but  I would prefer to see her 
teaching medical magic to the pupils – I reckon that she would be 
good at this and also with the amount of  times that Harry has found 
himself in the hospital wing he could probably use with learning a 
bit of healative magic ;-)
