Asian_lovr2:

There is a long list of favorite characters slated for death before
the end of the series. I can't see them all dying in the last book.
There is only a limited amount of room for a herioic death before the
 plot becomes to convoluted and muddled.

Top of the list (at least my list) to die are Snape and Dumbledore. I
figure one in each book. So either Dumbledore or Snape die in the next
book. Making Snape the DADA teacher is the prefect setup for his later
heroic death. Perhaps making Dumbledore DADA teacher in the last book
will foreshadow his death.

Also, keep in mind across the existing 5 books, the plots and subplots
as well as the many many characters, have all gotten very complicated.
JKR has now introduced several new students, and fleshed out several
more. And invariably must introduce some more. In addition, there are
only two books left and a lot, A WHOLE LOT, of story needs to be
wrapped up. I just don't see room in only two books for JKR to waste
the ink and pages on a completely new character who serves no long
range purpose beyond cannon fodder. 

It's time to get down to business, and making Snape DADA teacher opens
the possibility to expand him as a character, and resolve some of his
back story. There really is no time to waste on pointless although
perhaps interesting side adventures; she must stick to the point and
begin to bring the series to a close. 

Once again, to add another Umbridge-like character to book Six would
be a complete waste of extremely valuable story time. 

It's just a thought.
