Tonks replies:

I agree with some of this, but I don't think the description is of a 
new teacher. When I heard the description of the "lion-maned"...  it 
must be someone that is a Gryffindor.. maybe even Goderic himself. 
Maybe Harry sees him in a dream or a pensive or something.  I think 
that it is a description of Goderic Gryffindor and that Goderic is 
the HBP (half wizard royality/ half ? comon wizard?, and yes that 
Harry is his decendent... 

But there is something about the eyes. This person has yellow eyes.. 
very rare. Harry's are green. and this point is mentioned a lot... 
that he has his mothers eyes. Somehow I think this eye color thing 
mean something, but I don't know what. Yellow eyes... hum...  Do 
only cats and lions have yellow eyes?
