Of course I do. Something that's gotten lost in this is the 
underlying reason behind the gag of having a new DADA teacher every 
year. The DADA always turns out to be something more than he (and now 
she) seems. Quirrell (bad); Lockhart (doofus), Lupin (good, with a 
secret) and Moody (GAHHHH!)

Maybe JKR changes that, figuring the joke has run its course, and 
does indeed go with Figg (hmmm...) Fleur (NO!) or Gran (HMMMMMM!)

But if JKR continues it, I'd say those are strikes against Figg, 
Fleur or Gran.

D'OH! I forgot matches! Thanks for the reminder.

For those who haven't been following along, we're planning a public 
book burning if the Draco-Hermione relationship actually happens. Dog 
here is bringing matches. Jo has got the marshmallows. I'm providing 
beer and Cindy has got the gasoline. We still need bratwurst, nachos 
and yard games.
