       This comment syncs up with a thought of mine on teachers at Hogwarts, 
more specifically the Divination question. Will DD rehire Trelawney or keep 
Firenze or both. I could see him keeping both, with Trelawney as Divination 
teacher up to OWL level and Firenze running the NEWT level courses. Then I 
realized that this is the perfect solution for Care of Magical Creatures. DD should 
hire G-P as permanent OWL level teacher for CoMC and put Hagrid in as NEWT 
level CoMC teacher. This two tier teacher level might even help out Snape...let 
him teach only the NEWT level students who want to learn potions, rather than 
the newbies. No idea who would be teaching the OWL level then, though.
