Erin:
I like that idea a lot.... If, for instance, the goblin revolt 
happened this summer, then Bill wouldn't be needed to work with them 
the way he has been. The problem, IMO, with that happening is the 
curse on the job.  What would happen to Bill?  Would he die?  Become 
evil?  Or, since he is a curse-breaker, perhaps he would be able to 
break the curse stay in the job for the next two years.  But- how 
would that work with Ron and Ginny going to school there?  Can 
siblings teach each other?

easier to find a Potions teacher than a Dark Arts teacher. Having a 
new potions teacher also opens the possibility of Harry taking 
Advance Potions so he can become an Auror. The new teacher may not 
have as strict of requirements as Snape.


Erin:
I'm hoping Harry will turn out to have done better than he thought on 
his potions O.W.L. without Snape there to harass him.  But if he 
hasn't, then that is a really good idea.  I would love to see Snape 
teaching Harry in an area that Harry is top of the class in.  I just 
don't know, though... if Snape does ever get the job, I see it as 
happening in Harry's seventh year.  And about the curse... was Snape 
the one who put it there?  I don't have my books with me now.  If so, 
he could break it and stay the last two years, I guess.
