Me: 

Yes, that is what I had in mind. The main character of the books *IS* 
Harry Potter, and I'd bet 20 horses on him staying the main 
character. The reason I can see why Ron!Dumbledore would exist, is to 
SAVE Harry, so that he can defeat Voldemort. And I do NOT believe 
that Ron!Dumbledore was the one who stopped Voldemort killing Harry 
Potter as a 1-year-old. I want to believe he did that all by 
himself. ;)
And I can't see why Harry should be less of a main character just 
because of Ron!Dumbledore helping him instead of a None!Dumbledore 
(okay, that was bad :P). He gets help all the time. Without 
supporting characters, there wouldn't even be a Voldemort to defeat, 
and what a sad place it would be then.

Me:
I think it's a theory that works, hehe.
But, I do not think (I REALLY HOPE THOUGH!!!) that the path JKR has 
chosen is this one.

Here's some more stuff to add to the dough.

Teacher: Anyway, it's very exciting. We just love Harry Potter. We're 
curious ---- well first of all we can't wait for Books 4, 5, 6 and 7. 
But after that, we're curious as to whether Harry is going to have a 
life after Hogwarts, or if maybe, Harry might be a Hogwarts teacher. 

JKR: Well, because all your kids said `hello' so nicely in the 
background there, I am going to give you information I haven't given 
anyone else and I will tell you that one of the characters, one of 
Harry's classmates, though it's not Harry himself, does end up a 
teacher at Hogwarts. But, it is not, maybe the one you think, hint, 
hint, hint. Yeah, one of them does end up staying at Hogwarts, but ---
-

Radio Guy: Do the kids want to guess at it, Kathleen?

Teacher: Do you guys have a guess as to who it is?

(Kids shouting in background) Ron

Teacher: They say Ron.

JKR: No, it's not Ron. I can't see Ron as a teacher. No way. 
--------------------
Now, this could be taken as it's anyone except Ron, and that would 
mean that the WW and Hogwarts will indeed exist after the end of book 
7.
But as I see it (well, I want to see it), it could mean that, since 
Ron changes his name to Albus Dumbledore, "Ronald Weasley" is never a 
teacher at hogwarts. Ron!Dumbledore was still one of Harry's 
classmates, even though he changed his name. Then he would also fit 
into almost all of the books. I myself consider knowing that one of 
his classmates becomes a teacher AFTER the books end is pretty boring 
info. :P

Oh, and now for something else:

Could Lockhart be part Veela?
