"I think that the person that is described, is Luna Lovegood.  Who 
says that the clue isn't a woman or a girl."


DuffyPoo:
Luna's already been quite well described in OotP: "She had straggly, waist-length, dirty blond hair, very pale eyebrows and protuberant eyes that gave a a permanently surprised look. ... The girl gave off an aura of distinct dottiness.  Perhaps it was the fact that she had stuck her wand behind her left ear for safekeeping, or that she had chosen to wear a necklace of Butterbeer corks, or that she was reading a magazine upside-down."

The description from the JKR site indicates that the person described is a male as it uses the masculin pronouns (I'm sure that's the wrong word, English classes were a long time ago) his and he. 

Such a description belongs, as McMax said, to a new person.  The new DADA teacher, McClaggan, whoever he/she turns out to be, a replacement teacher for one who may go missing over the upcoming summer (between OotP and HBP), or a new caretaker. Am I the only one, am I, who will not be surprised if Filch leaves Hogwarts, after his disloyalty to DD?  Yes, DD believes in second chances but how many has AF already had?
