Just a personal thought...

I don't see Fleur as the new DADA professor at all. Dumbledore, especially 
with Voldemort returning to power will want to hire someone with practical 
experience and most likely further training that just what is learned in the 
magical schools. Fleur did not establish herself in GoF as particularly 
gifted in the knowledge and uses of DADA...

But the thought has occurred to me... is love on the horizon for Snape?
