Erin:
So, did you read the same interview I did?  The one that went:

*******************
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 ---
-
Do the kids want to guess at it, Kathleen?
Do you guys have a guess as to who it is?
(Kids shouting in background) Ron
They say Ron.

JKR: No, it's not Ron. I can't see Ron as a teacher. No way.

Erin:
So I agree with you that it will be Neville.  But, just curious, why 
potions?  Do you think Snape will die, or get the DADA job, or what?  
Personally, I think Neville teaching DADA or Herbology is more likely.
