Me:

What if Harry doesn't get enough OWLS and becomes the new DADA 
teacher?  I know he's too young and that would negate his 6th and 
7th years, but it would certainly make for an interesting twist on 
his relationship with Snape.  Especially given Snape's overwhelming 
desire to be the DADA teacher.
