Me:

Good point. My money has been on Hagrid at least being MIA in book 
five, if not being offed completely. My only problem was the big gap 
that Hagrid's absence would create. Filling it will Charlie Weasley 
would be an excellent solution. (Woohoo! Waiting for the money to 
roll in). 

But you know, I've always wondered whether Bill was once a teacher 
at Hogwarts. Didn't he mention at the end of GoF something along the 
lines of being back for the first time in 'five years'? Doesn't 
match up with his graduation date, so he must have been at Hogwarts 
for another reason.
