YOu know who I was thinking would be a good DADA teacher for next 
year?  Tonks!  We know she likes kids (amusing Ginny & Hermione at 
the dinner table) and we know she knows her DADA stuff (because we 
are told repeatedly that only the best of the best become Aurors), 
but she is new enough to being an Auror that the MoM might not miss 
her too much if she took a leave of absence to teach at Hogwarts.

What do you think?
