OOP: D. A. (SPOILERS)

I would like to see the DA or some form of it still around in future 
books.  But only in addition to DADA - hopefully there will be a 
better teacher!

As for the thought that Harry could teach DADA, I don't agree.  
While he is probably the most advanced in his year and had more 
experienced in the whole school, I think that there are things he 
still does not know.  Plus, I do not think he has the objectivity to 
deal with certain students - Slytherins; and/or the patience to 
handle others - giggling girls and those who may want to question 
his past experiences.  Yes, yes, he managed the DA, but those were 
people who wanted to be there, who wanted to learn and who knew not 
to puch or were warned not too.  In a classroom setting, those 
things would change.

But if the DA were to continue, I think it could be like a school 
sponsered thing.  Most likely a teacher would have to be involved to 
oversee things, but Harry could be the leader/in charge.  However, 
if it is a school sponsered activity, then wouldn't it have to be 
open to all students?  And I know any good bad guy would be 
participating just to keep their eye on the enemy, so you would 
still most likely have the Slytherins there.  

The one concern I now have for Harry is his temperment.  How angry 
is he going to be?  What will he consider acceptable use of force?  
He's already used one unforgivable, what's to stop him from using 
another?  And would putting him in a position of power over his 
enemies end up pushing him to his limits?
