I don't remember seeing where Malfoy said that McGonagall would be 
one of the first. of course I don't have the book sitting right here 
either. But I thought when he said she was filling in I could swear 
that was for Dumbledore, but who knows maybe she is filling in for 
Dumbledore's wife, you know the Deputy Headmistress. JKR said that 
we will know about the spouses soon. I hope real soon. Lori
