Hmm... Not really.

Which would mean someone else taking over that potition...

Possible. And Moody... What about selling books as cover, of course 
never quitting being Auror. At *least* he'd easily find The Invisible 
Book Of Invisibility with his magic eye. Harry may want to know more 
about how to use his cloak, plus it might be a required book for 
DADA...

She is.

He's off somewhere...

Yes. And she might do that (with only girls learning anything!)

Mrs. Figg is for DADA, I think. (So if Sirius isn't free by the end 
of Book #5, Harry gets to go to Diagon Alley trough her fire-place).
Then, Fleur - potions, charms or languages (a French Lady to teach 
French, huh?)
And... Care of Magical Creatures with um - Charlie Weasley?
Silly idea - have the Weasley twins teach potions! They know of them 
(Polyjuice for Canary Creams? Another for Ton-tongue Toffee? They 
know need potions to make their *pranks*, anyway...)

Could Ron get to teach first-years? (He might need a salary...)
Could you see *Dobby* teaching anything?
