Parallel between the Potions Puzzle and the DADA teachers?

Wooooaaaah good stuff AL!
You know, I don't think you're misconstruing the potions at all by
adding a parrallel. Rather I think that the sequence of sevens was
intended from the start and that certain things were always meant to
be following it. The DADA teachers *of course* are among those
things. Does this alleviate your concerns, because it *is* a really
brilliant point that you have made.

I must concur with you on Snapes chances *under DD* of gaining the
DADA position. However, somehow I think he still will get there in
the end.

You have said that an *innocuous* DADA teacher is one of the
two 'yet to come', but I have a feeling that a twist is in order.
We have been given to percieve Umbridge as 'poison' with JKRs
description of her (Poisoned honey) and her proximity to evil doing.
However essentially she was not *directly* involved in the leading
of Harry to Voldemort. Which is why I must debate that the *duds*
have come and gone. What we have left, I think, is the
seeker/forward teacher and the last bottle of Poison.
Hmmmmm does that make Snape's chances look higher to you?

This is really good stuff!  I think Snape's chances at becomming DaDa 
teacher are getting better and better. (And I wish I had seen the 
post from July. I always miss the great posts!)
