I would also like to see Harry be the new DADA teacher, but i do not 
think that that would even be an option until his seventh year. The 
one thing that Harry does not know yet, but would need to know is the 
unforgiveable curses that Moody/Crouch Jr said would be learned in 
the sixth year. After his duel with Bella, it is clear that Harry 
does not know how to use them yet. What I want to happen (and this is 
just my wishful thinking as i doubt it will come true) is that Harry 
teach the first through sixth years while either Dumbledore or Snape 
teaches the seventh years.
