OOP: Professors at Hogwarts and Family.

Although after reading the book, I feel that it has been well 
written, it did leave me with a lot of questions unanswered not to 
mention add a few more. But most of all I wanted some more canon on 
some of the characters' families. Lily and James for one, which has 
been mentioned in the group, but one thing that I feel Jo is ignoring 
till the very end is .. about the Professors at Hogwarts. 

Its been 5 years since Harry started meeting them, and has he not 
wondered till now, that none of them seem to have a FAMILY ? . I 
mean, wife/husband and kids ( or siblings if you exclude Aberforth). 
I for one, noticed THAT by the end of the third book !!!. None of the 
Professors that we have been introduced to seem to have kids or near 
family and that seems like a requirement to teach at Hogwarts :-)) . 
It seems really strange and I thought Jo would address this in OOP. I 
wonder why even Hermione seems unaffected by this, a person who 
normally notices anything odd. 

I racked my brain for some explanation, but I'm afraid I could come 
up with none. It would be intersting to see, if any of you have an 
explanation or a theory why this is so, and why Jo is delaying this 
till the very end.

( who feels that the sixth and seventh book have to be at least 5000 
pages each to answer all his queries !!!!! )
