Diana L.:

Actually, Trelawney is still going to teach Divination.  Pg. 849 of 
US edition of OotP:

  "Speaking of centaurs," said Hermione, when she had recovered a 
little, "who's Divination teacher now?  Is Firenze staying?"
  "He's got to," said Harry, "the other centaurs won't take him 
back, will they?"
  "It looks like he and Trelawney are both going to teach," said 
Ginny.
  "Bet Dumbledore wishes he could've got rid of Trelawney for good," 
said Ron...

  I don't believe any of the changes, hirings, firings and 
punishments Umbridge inflicted upon the teachers or students at 
Hogwarts are going to be maintained.  Meaning that Harry will also 
be playing Quidditch next year as his *lifetime* ban will be 
removed.  And Filch will NOT be allowed to whip misbehaving 
students, much to his disappointment.

did to Harry & Dean with that blood-letting quill in detention)
